Um, what is "vote fuzzing"?

“Vote fuzzing” is a practice where a site’s reported vote count is intentionally made to report inaccurate figures. This is a strategy that some sites employ to attempt to throw off vote manipulation. I am not sure whether HN does it, but it is famously employed on Reddit.
