VOCM Question of the Day Results Questionable

Are you satisfied with Tom Rideout's action on his controversial expense claims?

You'll be amazed at the poll results. It appears that the "No" voters (30%) are mainly the ones to make comments on that page. Have a read. The quantity of "No" comments certainly don't reflect the 70% "Yes" votes. That poll is completely absurb.

Many online polls display a notice explaining that if you have already voted, you cannot vote again on that particular poll. There is at least one way around this. A user can clear their internet browsers cookies, so that it looks like your computer has not voted before. You can then do this all day, and vote as often as you like. It invalidates online polls.

Strange results on VOCM's polls have appeared before. There seems to be many more responses to government related polls, specifically as it pertains to public support for something government related. Would make an interesting tv news item.
