Well it is a clear violation of the specification there is no doubt about that!

It clearly says " The second phase (Limit) allows a maximum vote of 1024 HVC for the first 59,876 blocks, but 8 HVC for the last ~3,600 blocks so it can transition into to the last phase (Sustain). The Sustain phase allows a maximum vote of 8 HVC."

We are now almost 3,500 blocks into those "last 3,600 blocks" and I STILL see an average vote of 327.

If it was paramount to stick to the original specification and keep allowing people to vote high throughout the limit phase, when it was already obvious that a system that only allows miners to vote, is not working, then FFS stick to the specification now also and stop this high voting AS SPECIFIED!
