Just do it in Bash, of course! Take the poll andcopy/paste it directly into a file called 'hnpoll', then run

   sed -e ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g' -e 's/points/,/g' -e 's/point/ ,/g' -e  's/,/\n/g' hnpoll | awk '{ print $2 " "$1 }'  | sort -n | grep ^[0-9] | tail -n 20

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

Get the total number of US results:

   echo $(grep US -A1  hnpoll  | sed  -e ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g' -e 's/points/,/g' -e 's/point/ ,/g' -e 's/,/\n/g' -e '/^$/d' | sort -r |cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -n | grep ^[0-9] | paste -sd+ - | bc)" United States"

943 United States

Combine them a bit...

   sed -e ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g' -e 's/points/,/g' -e 's/point/ ,/g' -e  's/,/\n/g' hnpoll | awk '{ print $2 " "$1 }'  | sort -n | grep ^[0-9] | tail -n 20; echo $(grep US -A1  hnpoll  | sed  -e ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g' -e 's/points/,/g' -e 's/point/ ,/g' -e 's/,/\n/g' -e '/^$/d' | sort -r |cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -n | grep ^[0-9] | paste -sd+ - | bc)" United States"
