Time is the same poll that was hacked to allow Moot to win, and for the names of the top of the list to read MARBLE CAKE ALSO THE GAME.

Fixing the places of the top 21 people seems like an exploitable poll. I don't know how much has improved since then.

You can't see the difference between ballot stuffing and vote rigging?

Ballot stuffing can be done by anyone with motivation.

Vote Rigging (e.g. - deleting votes) can only be done by the people running the system.

You can't see the difference between vote rigging and fixing gamed votes?

It wasn't hacked, just gamed.

Depends on the meaning of the work hack. A clever prank? I think it counts.
