RedEye's Best Bartender 2012
Stop by our Top 8 bartender's bars this weekend to check out their signature drink and then cast your vote for the bartender you want to see move on to the next round of competition. The four bartenders with the most votes will face off at our Best Bartender Bash on Feb. 22 (RSVP here). So get drinking (as if you needed another excuse) and cast your vote in the poll on the right. Voting ends at noon Monday, Feb. 13. --Emily Van Zandt, RedEye

Can someone please explain to me how, within a matter of minutes, Jenny's numbers jumped from 48 to 2500? She's a fantastic bartender, but that just seems fishy to me. She is fully capable of winning honestly. While I don't think she rigged it, it certainly feels like someone did something sketchy.
