Honestly this seems like the best way they could have handled it. No rigging, no anger, just two iconic pictures (one much more iconic than the other) getting the recognition they deserve.

What are your thoughts?
Did Lee Cohen use his Alta influence to sway the competition?
Did Everlast sneak into the Alta offices and burning the servers in an act of corporate espionage to close the competition and save the holiness of Chads gap?
Did MFM stop Giray and Nick Gaper from hitting Chad’s?

the world may never know

At the end of the day it was literally within 10 votes. Due to the fact the 24 hr voting system made some voters get shafted when they closed the contest they probably figured it was best to just call it a tie.
