Wikia (specifically, Sannse, but she's currently out for a few days) was asked to look into this matter. I have reviewed the matter for the last few minutes and wound up sending this reply to the requestors. I am also posting it here so that it is clear what Wikia's stance is:

Dantman's contention with the poll is legitimate. Wikia Staff has always been very hesitant to accept poll results in the past due to the matters Dantman touched on - double voting is possible and socks can vote easily without any record. As Dantman an active bureaucrat and respected member of the greater Wikia community and I don't see anything in his tone that gives me pause. I am also concerned about the amount of time that was given to vote - While deadlines do make sense, as a neutral observer I get the feeling this vote was rushed by those pushing to be promoted. Those wishing to be promoted have been very aggressive and combative in the forum discussion and I honestly don't see clear consensus being given based on the evolution of that conversation. As such, Wikia will not be intervening in this matter further.
