I was told on another forum, from another game I play, in order to get the one vote to count, where you have to pull the lady's face to the center and then your favorite thing to do, you have to click on vote and then click on the banner to make it count. I'm not sure if that's 100% accurate, but that's what I was told. You could try that and see if that works. Like I said, I don't know how accurate that information is, but thus far I haven't had a problem getting gold by using this method.
