Related: About this forumDisclaimer attached to online debate poll
A disclaimer: Online reader polls like this one are not statistically representative of eligible primary voters. They are a measure, however imprecise, of which candidates have the most energized online supporters, or most social media savvy fan base. After all, what they are counting is the number of Internet-devices controlled by people who want to vote.

(62,276 posts)This poll in particular lets you revote if you simply open a new private window. Must be cookie based. But an IP based poll shouldn't use much more resources, could even use less since you're not having to parse a cookie.
I dunno I am looking at the technical aspect.
