As explained on the website and to the Champions during the information sessions, each donor can one only have one vote in support of a Champion. Here are a few reasons why the numbers may have changed since Tuesday: A donor made a previous donation during the campaign and selected another Champion first. A donor made multiple donations and voted for the same Champion more than once. A donor didn't give a verifiable first and fast name (ex: Hot Dog Man)
