Which way did you skew the data?
Cat,
Both of my votes were identical, and had the following three items selected:
I am an ASSRA member.
Humor section should be allowed.
Other issues need to be addressed.
Both votes were cast from the same computer.
My first vote was cast while lurking (not signed in).
Later, after signing in to reply to a post to another topic, I then opened the Poll topic to read a new post that had been made and saw that the poll was still open to me to cast a vote. My assumption was that there had been a software glitch and my first vote had been rejected because I had not been logged in at that time. So I voted again.
Thing that bothers me is that the vote count increased in both instances.
I pondered afterwards if it might have been possible to cast additional votes from additional IP addresses, but I did
NOT pursue it.
Should the ASSRA board ever decide to conduct polling, or allow electronic voting by the membership in the future, this is an issue that should be investigated and addressed beforehand.
