That's because the majority of early voters always anti-vote Final Fantasy without fail and have for years. That'll never change, but even if it did this once it wouldn't impact Link still winning the rest of the day. Link could have easily always lost the early votes and still won in the end. Trends say he never will I know, but my example is just a "for instance".
I don't believe Cloud/Seph have any shot at this, so no 5 minute result is going to give me much hope. I'm still hoping it'll be under 60% and not really sure it will be.
