Is it s simple fun poll or something more serious?
I wrote the poll script at www.popculturemadness.com which uses a
cookie. OK, if you want to go to the trouble of finding the cookie and
deleting it you can vote again. But so what, it's good enough.
I've done other voting scripts that require a working email address,
where the vote won't get counted unless there is a resp[onse from the
email. There's also a cookie too and all headers are stored. No script
will totally prevent people voting more than once. But then, you can't
even guarantee that for political elections.
