I have tried Google Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari....all on a PC.  I have tried typing it.  I tried it from a Google Search.  I have tried the link from the Facebook page.  I have tried from an ad I saw on Facebook.  I have rebooted.  I have tested to see if I have problems with any other various sites, I do not.  I tried yesterday.  I tried today.  I even tried from my iPhone.

Just trying to be thorough.  Lol

Anyone else having this problem?  I don't plan on entering really but just wanted to read more about it and see the contests from previous years etc.

Thanks in advance....and I apologize if this has already been discussed...I did search.

I'm on Safari (on Mac) that is almost old enough to vote and
it seems fine to me.

Interesting, thanks!  That helped.

I disconnected my iPhone from Wi-fi to use my cellular network and the website loaded fine on my iPhone.

On the PC, I then did a tracert.  Seems there is an Internet Network problem *somewhere*.  Obviously the first hop is me with my IP Address which I chose not to show...then it goes through Tampa and then elsewhere...then fails.

I used your link and it worked perfectly. I'm on PC, windows 7 and Firefox, latest version, whatever that is.

Worked fine here too with Firefox.  Seems one of your pings off some server got hosed someplace.

Just a network problem, no more testing required.  It just seems that some people might have problems depending on where they originate from (on some networks)....is my guess.

It dies with he.net, part of the internet backbone.  This is in California.  I am in Florida.  So I am guessing one of the next hops from California would be to Japan....

Hmmmm, this morning my tracert is very different.  I get to Tokyo Japan on Amazon's Cloud Network and then it dies there.  Still can't get to the website from my home computer.  Ugh.  I will take a screen shot of my tracert and email it to Amazon's NOC and see if that gets anywhere.
