If you understand technology, there are safeguards against multiple voting. I verified that by going to the results page and then voting I could only vote once. What is a random sampling anyway. Some number of people by an accident of being home and answering a phone. On a particular day some number find a vote a vote.com and vote. A random group had time and were contacted on the phone and a random group had time and voted at vote.com. tom watson tosiwmee
