* Country Code "XO": 63 votes minimum in Awakening/Deus Ex; 173 votes minimum in Rocket League/FighterZ; 0 votes in both 2018 matches (>0 votes in 53.24% of overall polls through 7914)

It should be noted that Geolocation results for contest polls do factor in the registered user bonus, so some of the numbers you provided may be higher than the actual raw vote totals from those countries.

Additionally, it's also much harder to estimate the number of votes from a specific country when you are dealing with a poll that has 2 options. The more options you have, the better it is for determining the number of votes.

I looked at yesterday's regular poll (Poll 8053) and found this for country code "XO":

"XO": {1:"6.64",2:"14.69",3:"20.4",4:"14.57",5:"20.63",6:"23.08",}

Thanks to having 6 options, there are fewer possible vote total candidates to deal with as they have to line up perfectly with all 6 percentages. Most of those percentages are associated with a minimum of at least 150 votes. I checked all of the vote total candidates up to 1500 and only 858 actually satisfies all 6 percentages. This is a problem of much greater magnitude than I realized, because that's a lot of votes not being properly credited to the US, let alone having those votes credited to the correct state.
