To my mind it’s earlier-submitted entries that have the advantage – if a sub is good enough for the voting to, on net, be positive then the longer it can be seen for the more of a lead it’ll build up over what comes later. But that only applies for normal entries, not the ones with the backing of a group of co-ordinated voters.

This would be true if people paid attention to the time-stamps, but taking my Nixon example that wasn’t the case because the avatars are presented to voters in a random fashion. Earlier on, because there are fewer submissions in the pool that increases the chances of a sub getting voted on and thus pushes its vote total up.
