I agree, mostly. More than anything else, I think the whole situation (him trying to get a fraction of the fraction) is funny.
So, to reply to the starting writeup:
If it was me, to hell with spending time making a script and then using it to vote. I'd be clicking like mad.
But I'd suggest using something like bash. I dunno why. I just will.
So use bash. Hope that they use GET transfers. Click the button. See what shows up in the addy bar. Then figure out a way to hit that page a lot. Perhaps wget. I'm not sure.
Your best bet, quite honestly, is bribing a younger sibling to click for you.
