Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-cascade] [css-nesting] Figure out whether we're fine with "shifting up" bare declarations after rules (#8738)

I watched the results of the poll very carefully in the first couple days. It was consistently 37-39% for Option 1, and 61-63% for Option 2. 

It's very telling when you hit enough votes (like 100) and the results stabilize. As more and more votes came in, the results did not change.

Then over the weekend, another 1800 votes came in, with an overwhelming preference for Option 1. Almost three times as many votes came in over the weekend? Long after we stopped promoting the article on social media? With a radically different result? 

That's a bot. 

So we decided to close the survey and post the last known results from before the traffic pattern became highly suspect. 

You can see a similar preference for Option 2 in Lea's survey: https://mastodon.social/@leaverou@front-end.social/111177156433448874
