I used to be the only vote from NC, but someone else also voted for Clinton, so she's still at 100% here. Nice.

Although, by the looks of it, maybe I don't. My account is linked too, so I don't know what I did wrong.

It looks like it may be getting hacked now I see multiple votes going in back to back at same time intervals on the daily forum activity feed.

Not sure if this can be stopped but I question the validity of this going forward.

I really haven't seen any weird changes to the map, but r/enoughtrumpspam pointed out a 4chan post directing to the mock election map by some Trump supporter somewhere.

Switched to Castle. He's actually on the ballot in PA, where I am now registered due to college residency, so that's who I will be voting for instead of throwing my vote away on a write-in.

Yes, yes, point and laugh, I'm aware a Castle vote is thrown away whether it's write-in or not. It's an aesthetic difference.

Your Castle endorsement went away BTW. Don't know if that was intentional or not, but now it's gone.

It's pretty obvious one person using proxies stacked the Texas votes. She had like three votes there two weeks ago, and suddenly there are more there than anywhere else, including California. Every time a state flipped grey recently, it would immediately flip back with 2-4 Hillary votes targeted in that state.

I wish Dave would check to see if there are accounts which were just created, voted in the mock election, and then never checked back in, especially if this happened in rapid succession. Why do people even care who wins a mock election on some forum? Goddamn it.

I agree, I'm not going to get rustled over it, just pointing out that there's obvious manipulation going on. To be fair, I think there were some Trump votes coming in abnormally close together too, so it's not all one sided. Although lately a Hillary repeat voter seems to be the greatest offender and responsible for the total landslide in every state.

If you are right I wish they would throw two votes into Puerto Rico to stop it from sticking out like a sore thumb.
