I'm so sorry, ix. I love you, does that count? I agree with WillowJ that there are other explanations for why the votes aren't showing up from your friends.
I know you are feeling beat down, but listen to my experience from the last few hours and consider this if you feel up to it:
Try a follow-up personal phone call to your closest few friends/family.
Some of our friends have tried to vote and run into various problems. I've discovered in the last 2 hours that the most effective thing is to follow-up with a phone call (to your very closest friends) and offer to walk them through it. Then encourage them to publish their vote with a personal comment that encourages others to vote for their friend, before midnight ET tonight.
3 of my very closest friends (and brother) ended up voting and publishing to their friends after the personal phone call. Their obstacles to why they hadn't voted from the Facebook invite were (each had a different problem):
1) Thought it was spam
2) Forgot to "like" Chase Community Giving first, so vote button didn't actually do anything when he pushed it, so he thought he voted.
3) Looked briefly at Facebook but got confused and was too busy to solve it at the moment.
All appreciated my personal phone call follow-up, and all are now advocating strong and watching the leaderboard down to the final 2.5 hours.
To all:
It's not too late to call your very closest friends and family! There will always be ones or many who blow you off, but there might be a couple out there who just needed a little extra help and then they will feel great about helping you too. This could be the difference for us!
