That "overwhelming support" was likely brigaded by Discord as well as other subs, linked below.
Some people set up a Discord and were posting which subreddits had polls going on regarding staying dark or reopening, and their members spammed the polls with "overwhelming support" of staying dark, even though they weren't the actual users of said subreddits.

Sounds like a reddit issue. You can't control who votes on a reddit poll. All you need is a reddit account.
Maybe this is a long requested feature that reddit could have implemented... nah. Clearly it's the mods who are selfish.
