I think I'm starting to notice that usually after posting the charts, the #1 position becomes a lot more popular. I'm not sure if this is the bandwagon effect or coincidence but it's making me nervous.
Bandwagon effect is definitely possible but how can this be easily prevented? Anyone can still manually count votes without a chart being posted.
Do you think we should move to secret ballots? Some people may choose not to participate if there are too many rules about voting.
