Tl;Dr
The strawpoll ratio (even with the penalty applied) currently fits the model for /vip/ posting.
The thread (outside of my own posting) falls slightly below average for /vip/ posting.
However, since a decision is being made from the strawpoll, there is enough evidence to support relevance to the case.
Tl:dr 2 Electric Boogaloo.
The vote ratio fits the posting speed, when polls close at 8 the higher of Yes or No will win.
