Our lead is also 1 vote off of 9300 votes. This means that she the bot needs to increase her its LEAD by 93 votes per minute in order to win.
If this number (93 votes per minute) increases as we get closer to the deadline, we are fine (unless theres a last minute surge), if it decreases steadily, all is lost. If it stays roughly consistent, it is almost certainly a bot, and all is lost.

They need to be many people from many different IPs armed with autovoting. That kinda points again towards youtube being the real reason for this poll behavior (not necessarily on purpose, just weird updating).
Clearing cookies and revoting is no bot. That's extremely manual. A person with access to a huge botnet could potentially create a bot that automatically votes for X alternative with X computer at the rate of X. The only thing that would have to be done manually is the settings.
I don't mean manually clearing cookies. It can be automated too.
The bottleneck here is the Internet connection, and also the server for the poll itself. It has limitations, so you can't vote from one IP with higher than some rate. Based on this ESL actually needs many many computers running scripts to keep up with this rate. Or it's a youtube/google thing that causes the poll behavior.
edit: Bottomline - I don't think we are against bots. I think we may indeed be against google(youtube) itself.

I think I will name my smurf account JessicaESL :p
People may confuse that "ESL" with something like European Star-League
ESL stands for Electronic Sports League which is the largest gaming league in Europe with over 3 milion accounts, dont tell me you didnt know that?! ;D

Omfg guys!! Okay two things: 1) The first graph, see how that red line is pulling away from the linear trend.. That's a tight butthole right there; and 2) The Ratios in the 3rd graph are starting to be <1 now (i.e. in our favour) means we're growing faster than Jenny.
