I only used it once and I think the power had been drained because I don't remember the vote being worth anything. It was still fun to use though.
Yeah, don't overextend yourself on a free service. It's nice to help people, but if they're demanding that you fix it so they can get a free vote, that's not cool. At least Dora can still do other things. Maybe someone can make an "elf on the shelf" version of her. :)
She will be back soon with something new in the voting business 😉
