After the GOP Debate ended, Drudge Report opened up its polls to get the consensus on who people think won the 12th Republican Debate. However, it has been reported that the poll was hacked and the numbers on Senator Ted Cruz were just generated by a bot.
The complaint was first submitted on Reddit, where a user posted a screenshot photo of the alleged incident. The photo showed a filtered result for users in Delaware. The report allegedly had more than 44,000 users in favor of Ted Cruz, while only 140 users voted for Donald Trump. Overall, 99.65 percent users supposedly voted for Ted Cruz.
When the error was found, Drudge Report reportedly paused the polls. With the new numbers up on the site, it appears that they have solved the issue. The current polls have almost 134,000 votes for Donald Trump and about 43,000 votes for Ted Cruz. Since the numbers for Ted Cruz appeared to be very similar to the hacked statistics, it is possible that they were not able to remove the hacker’s bot votes.

*Cruz numbers over Trump, headline should read
Please fix? Need coffee.
Mind fixing that goofy headline?
Was it named Marci?
The bigger mystery is that anyone out there actually takes the Drudge poll seriously.
Hit abuse in post 1 and request
Lol, I knew it. They had a bot on a flipping VPN popping votes for Cruz.
Oh. Someone Freeped their poll?
Ahhh c’mon, the Cruz campaign wouldn’t cheat would they?
Isn’t that why Ben Carson endorsed Cruz this morning?
Oh wait.
TRUMP 65.35% (202,199 votes)
CRUZ 23.56% (72,883 votes)

Cruz never cheats, ask Carson, Rubio
In Cruz army ...they have gone Full Sherman.
.....by any means....
I’d lay odds the perp is or was a freeper
More Consistent, Conservative, Trusted values.
The New England Patriots should endorse Ted Cruz, just to upset the left, even more: “alleged cheaters” endorsing an “alleged cheater”.
I really wanted to like Ted. I agree with him on most issues. But now that I’ve observed him closely, to call him a snake would give snakes a bad name. He’s a very creepy guy.
Of course Cruz does not cheat.
Much.

I did some more analysis. Besides Shanghai, like I said, I noticed a big "data dump" coming in from a small island off of Georgia, which via a Palo Alto Firewall got over to Delaware.
