Hackers Foul 'Ugliest Dog' Competition

A Monterey County Hearld article, via Topix.net, reports that:

Poor Pee Wee Martini.

The 2-year-old Chinese Crested/Japanese Chin mix was leading in the online World's Ugliest Dog Contest, a canine version of the People's Choice Awards for the funny-looking critters.

Then computer hackers broke into the Sonoma-Marin Fair Web site and erased 40,000 votes for Pee Wee and stole 30,000 from an Italian greyhound named Victoria while they were at it.

That put Lucille Bald -- a purebred Chinese Crested from Florida -- in the lead until fair officials noticed the vote theft.
