Yesterday, I tried visiting 4chan using a proxy that was located in China. I wanted to see if 4chan was actually blocked in China. As I found out, 4chan is not blocked in China, so it is possible for some legitimate rally votes to come from China. But I do not expect a site such as 4chan to have any significant Chinese userbase.

China--definitely suspicious. Up to 98.59%
Russia--Weird, but not necessarily suspicious. The percentages have always landed on nice round numbers--right now it's at 88.89%, which is a perfect 8:1.
Thailand: Definitely not suspicious. It was 100%, but now it's at 80% with Adam and Vivi each at 10%. So Marisa just somehow got like the first 8 votes out of Thailand. Funny, but not "funny".

Yeah, read back in the topic and saw it was 98.39% before. Thought maybe I mixed up 98.39 and 98.59 before.

I kind of wonder if the Marisa "rally" understands that this is going to be caught. Or if they really think they're going to be able to get away with this.

Indonesia actually provides a decent number of votes normally, right...?

Yeah. And Marisa's percentage took a nice cut from where it was earlier, so that makes it easier to think that she just got a really strong board vote over there.

You won't be able to view the map if you use Throwback Mode. You'll have to disable Throwback Mode to view the map, even though the poll results pages do not use Throwback Mode if you have it turned on.

Adam got his first vote in China, and is now tied with Vivi at 1.19%. Looks like...82 votes for Marisa in China. Definitely suspicious.

Adam also has a vote in Russia now. Vivi, evidently, has 2. And Marisa has...20. Yeah, only 20.

That's awfully low for a stuff. Legitimately rallied votes, maybe.

Well, I guess Marisa had her time in the sun.

Don't think she'll get the lead back unless she does something really suspicious

Small, round numbers. Peru's is 4:3, Colombia's is 6:5, Ecuador's is 5:2. Brazil's a big country, so you need more votes to make it work--that one's 23:14:5.
