Important WHA Poll Guys, If you go to espn.com and then go to the outdoors section at the bottom of the page they have a poll that asks basically whether or not you support the WHA... Please go vote.. sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/index

Voting acomplished. With over 1500 people voting it was 75-25 in favor  It doesn't give one much hope does it? |

I'm guessing this would be something that peta would have gotten a hold of. This is VERY troubling.

The ones that aren't are set up by IP addys any you can't cheat those easily. I voted 10 or 11 times and dropped the precentage a few points. Lots of yes votes to overcome. I used to be part of an anti-animal rights site and we did the occasional poll busting. I have a couple of internet browsers, one I use and one I use for doing things like this. I got tired of having to log in again everywhere I was registered. |

SURELY ESPN knows this is happening? |

You got it, if you happen to be a rich guy with several employees,and say 30 or 40 computers!
you can do some serious damage to a poll.
The WHA is in trouble and is desperate at this time.

You'd think they'd have a way of telling how many votes came from an IP address. But to be fair no software is perfect and it's not that hard to fool any program designed to restrict access. If it were an IP poll you'd need a router to fool it. |

That was my thought too. ESPN people know that the poll is getting slammed. If they don't straighten it out and go with the results they will pay down the road. |

It was 57% yes, when I voted. What's up with that? I agree that it's rigged.

I voted "NO" 25 times. After each vote I deleted my "cookies" and revoted.  |
