If it's not finished rendering, it should not have a value set to begin with. Why is it populated with the wrong (opposite?) candidate?

Preset values AND slow updates can't be excused like this.

I believe it is the case that no vote is considered a vote for the incumbent. So it's initially no vote, and then it is defaulted later.

If that's actually the case, then it seems very biased - it should just be a blank vote. Is that even legal?
