lol @ republican
No, I wasn't implying that you had any part in it. I never assumed you did. I just used nepotism to mean "buddy-voting." He might've voted the way he wanted to initially, but maybe you gave him some positive feedback about something and he might have felt obliged to change his vote for you because you were nice to him. Kind of like "I scratch your back, you scratch mine," but without your knowledge of it. This is just an assumption, but that's what it seemed like to me.
