Daily Reporter ePoll Rigged? PDF Print E-mail

Thursday, 08 May 2003

The ePoll on the http://www.greenfieldreporter.com has displayed some uncharacteristic behavior recently. This evidently changed the results from over 50% of votes resoundly against closing the roads to 50% of votes resoundly for closing the roads within 1 hour by some observations. David Hill, editor of the Daily Reporter, stated the poll is "unscientific" and had "no basis" since they are unable to track who is voting. He continued, that while the poll had collected 129 votes in its first 8 days, within the last 48 hours he observed the poll had now collected over 450 votes - "you make your own conclusion". They will be removing the Poll from their web site soon. Further, our technical analysis of the ePoll indicates voting unlimited times is easily achieved by simply deleting and then blocking "cookies" from the http://www.greenfieldreporter.com site within MS IE or with free trial software such as Cookie Pal. More to come...
