It was already proven last year that there were just as many, if not more, second accounts set up to vote FOR the Trump Teddy as against it.As a neutral, I must say I agree with your "conveniently beaten" opinion....when I voted this morning the HB was 4 votes clear and pulling away......now they are level.
I'm beginning to think some people have voted more than once....would a list of IP addresses discount this theory?
This misinformation and "people's champion" rubbish needs to stop, now.
If it WAS the people's champion then it would have won the contest before. It's not as if the voting is based on FPTP or the electoral college FFS.
It's a straight fight and the lion food always loses. Because it's not hard enough.
