There is a reason you will never be able to vote for President via the internet. And that's because people who know more about computers than you will be able to replicate votes and easily send their candidate of choice to a totally unfair victory. The point is that it's also a bad idea to run a contest through social media, where the winner is determined by who gets the most hits, votes, hashtags etc. Thanks to social media site 4Chan, Taylor Swift is about to suffer through another such rigging. 

Boston radio station Kiss 108 offered a contest where the "biggest Taylor Swift fan" would get to meet the songstress when she came to town. Thousands of eager youth joined...and one 39 year-old man named Charles. Charles is a glum, bearded fellow who presumably doesn't know that he's been entered.Whoever did submit his profile through the site says the man is a huge Swift fan however

The user inquired for voters to give Charles "a chance to make a complete a-- of himself by blatantly just sniffing her hair with cameras rolling."  The provided biography describes our hero as a 39 year old man and I love Taylor so much and don't care that both adults and children mock me for it. But I feel 22 if that helps." 

Charles is currently in the lead thanks to an eager 4Chan and Twitter campaign, but he's not guarenteed to be the winner once voting ends on Sunday. The contest rules say the station can eject any participant who obtains votes through an automated means, and that might mean Charles. 

This is the second time that Swift will have been 4Channed in the last year. A contest to have users earn a performance by the country star at their school ran afoul when voters opted to send Swift to the Horace Mann School for The Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The good news is that Swift and friends did raise thousands of dollars for the school out of sympathy, even if the performance didn't come through.
