This logic makes no sense. Multiple voting can be used for any of the acts, it's not like only Honey G supporters can vote 5 or 10 times, so why do you think it's skewed towards her? I've seen this so much this year - any voting decision that people here don't like this is blamed on the app/multiple vote.

I don't think anyone really thinks she's a credible rap artist.

I do think that it would be good to have a wider variety of acts represented in the competition, but I suspect the problem with rap in particular is that anyone who has that skill and is serious about a career in it knows that the X Factor is not a sensible place to try and get that career off the ground. So there probably aren't a lot of rap artists auditioning, and that isn't even taking into account the weird obsession the producers have with going for the most generic acts they can find (other than the "joke" acts).
ETA: I am splitting my votes between Saara and Honey G.
