One user who has earned voting requisites has not voted yet, but their vote will not affect the outcome of the vote.
Eligible Voters: 137
Votes: 136
Kyurem
Ban: 84
Do Not Ban: 52
Ban % = 61.76%
60% pro-ban majority is required for a ban, and the outcome will not be changed by more votes. Thus, Kyurem is now banned from SV OU. Tagging Marty and Kris to make the change on PS when they have the time; thanks!
Thank you to all who have voted. The thread will remain open for two more days to allow the remaining person with voting requirements to vote and have their vote count towards the Tiering Contributor badge if they so please.
Here you can see the suspect thread with many posts outline their opinions on Kyurem.

The results of the recent SV OU Kyurem suspect are changing from Ban to Do Not Ban after we uncovered irrefutable evidence of a cheating by a plethora of voters! An individual was repeatedly getting voting requirements and distributing qualified aliases to other users, who elected to use them despite this being in direct violation of the rules. I will provide a full account of what I can share as this is an unprecedented situation and the community deserves accountability.
The initial results above with Kyurem getting banned 84-52, which showed 61.8% support. This was one of the closest suspects in recent history and famously came down to the last few votes. However, 11 votes have been deemed illegitimate after an internal investigation disclosed widespread suspect cheating. We have removed these votes from the pool due to our emphasis on assuring the quality of our suspec process and the recency of the verdict. The new tally is 74-51, which is only 59.2% support. As such, Kyurem is now unbanned from SV OU effective immediately.
