Voting fraud

It's known for flagrant, open voting fraud. This was most prominently done by way of using macros.

The person running the poll initially endorsed fraud, then had second thoughts once it's prevalence became apparent, and then finally came to accept it as an unpreventable part of the competition.

The first reported case of fraud appeared in round 1.

How exactly would one commit voter fraud if they were so inclined? Asking for a friend.

[loving-family-poll ]
Uh I think u just make a ton of sock puppets ig you don't need to use a real email or them?

It peaked in a semifinalist poll which contained of 77k votes.

76k votes with just 350+ reblogs and 250+ likes, that's like 125 fraud votes per person 💀

Perhaps record-breaking amounts of fraud happening here on loving-family-poll

It became the subject of a meme and a fic.

Manual fraud

It was claimed that Sam/Dean shippers were technologically illiterate and creating sockpuppet voting accounts manually, rather than using a script like other cohorts were.

funniest part is apparently none of us wincesties can script a bot I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT'S HOW YOU SAY IT. all my friends have made like 100+ accs 😭😭 at least it's fun to see a tiny 0.01% go in our favor from time to time

you're the TRUE clown princes of incest crime. putting ur blood sweat and tears into this

[Anonymous]
No one suggested wincesties aren’t counter-frauding, just that most of them are doing it completely manually bc they can’t figure out the macro thingy. That’s like. Literally the wincest discord discourse rn. Why can’t any of us use scripts. Literally like. My script kept opening thecut.com goddamn it

Like I know the fandom loves the old car and the cassette tapes and other analog aspects of the show but goddamn guys Jesus Christ

[loving-family-poll ]
We're too stupid to use scripts that's why we're spn fans 😔

The legitimacy of this claim is dubious.
