When do you check to see for bots voting?? During voting or after voting ends? I really don’t see how the guy in 1st is. Everytime I vote for Aden Brown, the other guys goes up by as much as 8?!

We keep a check on it during voting. Going up 8 votes at a time is not a bot. Bots put up very large numbers and drag down our system. When there is a bot, all votes will come from the same IP address. As of now, all votes are coming from multiple IP addresses. We will continue to monitor.
