These new polls accept only one vote per registered user... and you can't vote if you're not registered.

I suppose it can still be stuffed by folks willing to go to the trouble of creating more than one registration... but that's going to be a pretty small percentage of the population, I think.

Registered users just passed 1000 on January 29 - see this news story. (If you see a message about a database wipe instead of a news story, reload.)

Still, you're right - they ARE getting a lower poll response than they used to. Maybe that means we're not making a big enough stink about polls on the fansites. :)
