Teens discover the hardway that their votes don't count Re: Teen Awards.
Teen Choice Awards RIGGED; Fans Tweet #TeensDontHaveAChoiceAwards In Anger

“It’s funny how they told me I won the Viner Award 6 days before the voting ended and made the runners up still tweet to vote for them,” wrote the award winner.

Matthew Espinosa, another Vine celebrity, tweeted, “Basically they picked the people almost 6 days before voting was done and used all of us for promotion.”
