Denver green chile bracket thwarted by bots, forcing revote

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. Green chile inspires fiery passions in Colorado.

Sadly, however, it appears that someone or someones went a little overboard, creating online bots that submitted tens of thousands of votes for both Brewery Bar II and Los Dos Potrillos in our Green Chile Bracket this week — far more than we typically get in our voting.

In order to ramp the heat down from fiery to medium to mild, we are going to hold the vote again, and this time, we’ll require people to include their name and email, and to answer a question that proves they are human. We hope this will discourage the bot traffic and give us a true result.

Here are the two competitors. Vote here:
