except for AOL polls or other polls which require a login before voting, these polls are meaningless and easily manipulated by a savvy techie.
Most the time the poll writes a piece of data to the computer so you can not vote more than once. If that is deleted you can vote again.
or it may record you IP address so that address can only vote once...but a good programer can write a script to automatically vote.
Don't sweat or bother with these polls.
I have seen some AOL polls that seem valid, or at least when the volume goes up in the numbers voting...they become more closer to reality |
