Carter Johnson, What I love about this is we are using a Publisher vendor that has catered to newspapers across the country. Through their experience, they have figured out the little quirks and tricks people try to use to manipulate these contests. We are pleased to be partnering with them to produce the results the readers have come to trust with our papers. We are thankful to have such strong community participation.
