Using multi-accounts to vote for pictures

We know that there is an ingress agent that has multiple accounts and share others with different agents and he uses all this accounts to vote in portal pictures.
This way he is the only one in the entire city that chooses all the portal pictures he wants as well as the POIs being upgraded to gyms in Pokémon Go.
Recently we had a graffiti that was changed by another one and we submitted the new photo as well as a description change but when he realized it he mass voted on the old picture, one that does no longer exists.
Is there anything we can do? Surely he may have 20+ accounts but don't believe he has that many phones, so the majority of the votes were realized in the same equipment. Can't niantic check this?

You could appeal a removal of the old picture
Niantic doesn't care about multiaccounters.
How can I do that?
You can proove that the graffiti got overpainted, using the "wayspot photo appeals" category.
Here is an example how I mad it with wrongly added pictures due to duplicates:

It doesn't have to be an agent. I saw a trainer who made 15+ accounts to make a gym.
And I had to do a mission starting in another city and with subsequent portals that need to be evaluated. Just so that people without keys can do it There is always a way)
You used a cheat.
If you completed the mission with a different account and put a negative review, then this only shows that you are a multi-acc
Votes on photos no longe have any influence on whether a Stop becomes a Gym. They used to, but Niantic changed this when they changes a lot of PoGo stop spacing and edit rules at the start of the year because too many players were abusing the system with fake location edits or photo upvotes.
Sure? Would disagree on it.
