Hahaha!  Just because they say it, doesn't make it so... ;-)

You just need to delete the cookie that tells them that you've voted before.  However, I'm too lazy to find it right now.

CowbellGuy

Not necessarily. My poll logs IP in addition to using cookies. If you delete the cookie and vote again from the same IP, it won't count it. That's standard practice these days, so I don't waste your time.

43.2 %, after me and my fiancee voted.

Good point.  OK, so delete your IP and then reconnect my DSL each time when I'm home.

or goto the computer lab at school and go one by one down the row :P  no cookie deleting needed ;-)

Anybody besides me think that stuffing any further is a stupid idea?

Not that it's a scientific poll to begin with, and not that the results "matter," but IMHO ratcheting up the numbers unnecessarily is a really good way to convince CSTV that the ballot box has been stuffed, that they should take the poll down immediately, and that they shouldn't announce a winner or even acknowledge the poll ever happened.

I agree.  60.2% is high enough.

...and gives the other schools a chance to try some ballot-stuffing of their own, at which point we can always restuff.

60.3%.  I guess somebody didn't agree.  ;-)

BTW, does it take anyone else about 45 seconds for the CSTV index page to load?  I find that very fitting.

Treat the poll with the appropriate dignity and gravitas.
