The numbers are being modified. In the other thread, someone posted a screenshot of the then-current results for snowden: http://i.imgur.com/jv9t4X0.png
Yes, I saw ~200,000 votes for Snowden when I voted earlier today, and now it's just 37,000. What's going on?! Is Time changing the numbers, or is NSA that petty and hacked them?
Maybe they detected fraud
This is really fishy.
That could be expected, but the relatively high numbers for Modi and Putin make zero sense from any angle.
