I suspect the ballot stuffers were running bots for their puppets to log in and vote until the server couldn't take the traffic.

Well, something must have caused it to give way, and it's not surprising to see the raiders pull ahead with so many votes from puppets to stuff. And rapidly, in fact.

Just be glad there's a pop minimum greater than anyone could achieve during the race. Imagine if people could flood with new nations!

The Internet God has expressed its anger against the blatant sabotage of democracy by the impertinent raiders once again! And yet the malicious curs and their puppet votes have learnt nothing! They continue their vile conspiracy to twist the WA to their will with their vote stuffing; surely we should know better!

It's a known issue.

Or it's a feature, to teach you all the great lesson that your votes don't matter. :p

You see this? You see this? This is an outrage. An outrage. I swear you look at these guys, they have no clue! They don't know what they're doing! No. It's a travesty, what passes for democracy in the World Assembly. This wouldn't've happened if I was in charge, I tell you that.

It will once the heathen raiders burn their puppet votes as appeasement to the Internet God! Then he will return proper function to the tainted democratic process coding!

If you think raiders are the only one puppet spamming votes, I think you're joking yourself about everyone else getting hundreds of votes in an hour.

Do you not use puppets for the nefarious purpose of probing weaknesses in unsuspecting regions to seize and humilitate!? Do you not take glee in the tears of natives when bringing forth your spy networks!? Do not fool me, Not Black Hawk! Providence in on the side of the righteous! Your plans will fail!

(OOC: Honestly, I'm pretty sure we all have puppets regardless of whether we're R/D or not. I'm just playing up the firebrand)

I didn't see that many votes, would it really be alright to register and vote as many times as you want?

I voted for you with multiple nations and the vote count remained constant. So I presume it's exclusively for WA members? And I guess if I resigned with this nation the vote would be withdrawn and then restored when I rejoined.
