I really do not know if a cookie was used to assist with vote tallying, but I would like to offer one plausible explanation (or should I say question)...

How old is this girl? And could her age have affected the outcome? Sometimes people let their emotions get the best of them.

However, like everyone else, I disagree with the result.

That's something I never considered before...I guess the text *does* look like it was done by an 7-year-old...

12 or 13, judging from a Google search of her name.

that's kida scary that you found her age just by googling her.

How can someone's age affect the outcome, and how exactly can their emotions get the best of them in this contest?

people could think " that's a good effort for a 4 year old I'll vote for it" out of sympathy

You hit it right on the spot Jesse. Thanks for clearing that up.

Yeah, not so hard to think it was a really good 4-year-old that did it.
