    // This is a helper method to tally votes on a back-end system
    public void sendVote(String game) {
        VoteService.recordVote(game);

    }

Hello Alex, i was having the same issue and i realised it was a very dumb error, this is the actual answer: sendVote(mGames[position]); I hope this would help you.
