Tench: Web polls are notoriously prone to ballot-stuffing.

Of course, not sorting on IP (but instead depending on cookies) isn't exactly the best method of preventing stuffing. Not that one vote, one IP is always fair, since more and more people are using proxies, IP masquerading etc. (Not only for safety reasons, btw… IP "C-classes" are on severe allocation these days… IPv6 let's go already!)

(There must be more interesting news today than a dopey online poll)
