Vote/User Poll
Vote/User Poll
"Ballot Stuffing" in any Vote/User Poll can be thwarted in many number of ways. One of the most popular methods is by writing a cookie (a small text file) to the users computer. Users can prevent this, but most browser come set up to be pretty tolerant of cookies. Also, users can delete cookies and resubmit a vote from a new browser session, but most users can't be bothered to remove files to spoil survey results (unless their really persistent). The following example will display four hyperlinked choices to a question on the users first visit (and any subsequent visit until they vote). Once the user votes a cookie is written to the users PC with the name of the poll, their vote and and expiration date of seven days and an Access db tracks the input and tracks the results.
