Voting Fairness

I am slightly worried about the fairness of the votes done by other contestants. While the comments I have received so far are very nice, I don't believe there is anything stopping someone from "sabotaging" other entries to help their own ranking,  with no way to tell if a game's votes have been entered fairly or not, . Is there anything being done from the judge's side to ensure that the games are picked fairly?

The judges are not picking based on votes. Votes are used as a guideline to decide which games will be played on stream.

Ok, are the judges playing all entries even if it's not on stream? I am mostly worried because I can't export my game to play in browser, and browser-based games are getting more votes for being more easily accessible, and other games in a similar situation are also hurt by fake votes due to the smaller overall vote count

Yes, all games will be played by at least one judge.
