Dora is running away with it [0]. I suspect fowl play.

She was voted Naughty penguin of the month multiple times [0], so if there’s anything fishy going on I suspect her to be behind the scheme herself.

Definitely not as adorable as she looks!

I like Dora. She looks a bit like Tux.

if anyone else wants to watch the votes as they come in:

  curl https://data.napier.govt.nz/regional/nationalaquarium/poy2022/bin/data/last.votes.php | jq '.[] | .penguinName' -r | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr

just realised it's a static list after checking if it would change... probably just example data for their animation. (which I assume is fake and doesn't represent voting.
