The same link has been submitted thrice with different accounts and upvoted to 3 points.
- minimaxir 13y agoIt appears the release was embargoed for 12PM EST, so it's not surprising that people submitted simultaneously. It is surprising, however, that all of them received a significant amount of upvotes.
- corin_ 13y agoIt's not uncommon in this sort of situation for them all to get upvoted. Firstly, different people will upvote different ones, so if there's a popular story then a large number of upvoters split by 3 is still a decent number on each. Then there are people who will upvote more than one, either because they think it's important enough to deserve multiple links, or because they think the links offer enough difference in content, or because they upvote the first one they see, then see there's a better one (e.g. "oh shit, I upvoted blogspam, better upvote the official one now")
