From what I was told, Votifier is currently being used to log votes that are actually made via the 3 sites linked with Votifier, and at the end of the month, Optical counts the logged votes from top voters to check for cheated votes.

Well I know of a few people who won top voter without filling out one single capcha so I doubt this is how he does it. As far as I am aware we dont use votifier for anything, opti said he was working on it a few months back but i feel that's done with.

I want to question the validity of the Captcha on the first site. I made a typing error while filling out a Captcha a couple of times and it still went through, not sure if that affects anything but I thought it should be looked at.

Thats how some are set up, they accept a margin of error.

Yeah, well maybe at the time of being told that he was working on it. I still think Votifier is a good alternative and should be strongly considered.

You would be able keep some functionality of the vote buttons, such as the in-game vote reminder, but the rewards will just be handled via Votifier.
Few downsides to this is that the top voter list would be broken, as it wouldn't be an accurate indication of votes (unless it can somehow be hooked into Votifier). You could only be rewarded by 3 of the sites. And you could only receive the diamonds if you're in-game (unless you find a listener which supports offline voting).
Just food for thought. This seems like the only feasible option.

I think that the fourth site without votifier should be removed and that optical should use only votifier for the other three.
