Thanks for quick reply!
I’ll try to set up an env, didn’t wanna PR without testing. Anyone feel free to beat me to it. I’m not a ruby dev at all. I also don’t know about changing spec or tests.

Hilariously in the UI there is code that dumps the results into a set to bypass this bug.

              page: Math.floor(votersCount / FETCH_VOTERS_COUNT) + 1,
              limit: FETCH_VOTERS_COUNT,
            },
          })
            .then((result) => {
              this.voterListExpanded = true;
              const newVoters = optionId ? result.voters[optionId] : result.voters;
              let votersSet = new Set([]);
          
              if (this.isRankedChoice) {
                votersSet = new Set(voters.map((voter) => voter.user.username));
                newVoters.forEach((voter) => {
                  if (!votersSet.has(voter.user.username)) {
                    votersSet.add(voter.user.username);
                    voters.push(voter);
