4chan and Reddit bombarded debate polls to declare Trump the winner

There’s an unspoken rule of the internet: Never trust online polls. They’
re too easily corruptible.
4chan, the notorious message board, has a long history of botting online
competitions. In 2009, users flooded the Time 100 poll to ensure that the
site’s founder, Christopher “moot” Poole, made the cut. In 2012, the
pranksters employed JavaScript to vote for North Korean leader Kim Jong-un
in Time’s annual Person of the Year poll and followed suit the next year
with Miley Cyrus and Edward Snowden. 4chan also ensured a school for the
deaf won a Taylor Swift concert. Likewise, a Twitter prankster helped send
Pitbull to Kodiak, Alaska, as part of an online challenge by Walmart in 2012
