Hi @deeanndmathews.
Yes @justclickindiva has the most votes. However, the result (snapshot at the end of the poll) of the poll matches the winner ranking exactly.
Please note that voting is stake-weighted to prevent manipulation. We have been doing this for a longer time and it is explained in every poll announcement. See the text at the very top of the page.
Before we started doing this that way, whoever wanted to manipulate the poll could do it simply by using multiple accounts. Nobody would have been happy with that in the long run.
First of all, I appreciate your response. Danke sehr, Herr @quantumg.
"Stake-weighted" -- OK, I kind of understand that, but without a breakdown of what that means, it is still not completely clear, and I imagine that it is not clear at all to the average artist at LMAC. I THINK that it means larger HP means a bigger vote value as opposed to "one person, one vote" ... but that also means that it is possible that voting could ALSO be manipulated by a relatively few big accounts picking favorites. HOWEVER, I do know there is also some multi-account spamming on Hive that is not as obvious to the average Hiver who is not doing that, and that as someone responsible for a community, you may indeed see that behavior much more.
Even though I have a right to petition my government under the First Amendment, I rarely receive any response when I do ... thank you again. It may be to the interest of the community, from time to time, to do a post breaking down how it all works. Most people assume "one person, one vote" because IN THEORY that is how it is in real life.
