you're correct that anonymous voting can never be trusted. that's why any product that implements this kind of polling should have mechanisms to detect and prevent ballot stuffing by itself. there's several ways to do it, like with cookies, or storing IPs, etc

How can storing IPs work? I dial up and have a different IP each time. Someone who uses several machines will have several IP's. Kind of curious because I'm working on a polling product right now. Currently I only plan to use it with people identified by email address and a magic credential I mail out. I changed the subject since I'm wandering from the original topic.
