The famous World’s Ugliest Dog Contest online voting was hacked and 40,000 votes for Pee Wee (Chinese Crested/Japanese Chin) shown on the left and 30,000 votes for Italian greyhound Victoria shown at the bottom were erased.

You can see the voting site here. This puts Lucille Bald, a purebred Chinese Crested from Florida to take the lead. The online competition was added this year to the competition for fun. To make it fair, the online voting will be restarted on May 22 and a panel of five judges will select the winner on June 23.
