Pepsi Refresh, the online fund-raising contest with a $20 million  
giveaway for charitable causes and nonprofit groups, is again  
receiving complaints that its results are being manipulated.

Ann Goody, who runs an animal sanctuary in Hawaii, said she was  
“cheated out of a win.  A few nonprofit groups say that recent winners  
have used a mysterious service to propel themselves into the winning  
ranks, and complain that the practice breaks Pepsi’s ban on proxy  
voting and on votes from international locations.
