3. this is the letter I send them last night
and told them this.

It looks to me like your site has gotten freeped. You may want to check out IP addresses on the votes for president and you'll probably see multi users voting more than once. They have learned that if you clean out your cache and history you can vote over and over. Is there anyway you can correct the votes. I had check this site this morning and the vote had John Kerry at over 7000 and bush at just over 5000. But within a few hours the votes (over 7000 pushing it to over 12000) for bush blossomed. This doesn't pass the sniff test.

Thanks for you time.

7. Alarming...
I know how and why Freepers freep. But what I don't understand with this pledge your vote thing, you have to submit an email address and your street address to be able to vote, so it seems like it would take more than just clearing the cache to enable multiple votes, wouldn't it?

Perhaps there is other forces at work (legitimate or not) - such as mass emailings, rallies or church activism - that account for the anomaly?

Have you received any sort of reply regarding your email to them?

6. Hey, this might work to our advantage!
See, the average inbred, alcoholic, chickenhawk, "the-whole-world-is-against-me" freeper might see this map and think, "Hey, why should I go to the polls if it's gonna be a landslide anyway?"

I mean, this would be cutting in to their PBR time, ya know?

10. Someone could write a script to vote 10,000 times a day if they cared

But why bother? Most online polls are useless, unless they agree with your world view. :)
