On another note: polls are a terrible idea. For example, I can continuously use open proxies via website hosts just to boost more votes - that would clearly leave a tear for abuse.

I can think of other ways users can abuse it too:


 * Create multiple accounts: polls won't even show the accounts; so you will have no idea the user is sockpuppeting
 * After a short time, you'll be able to vote again with the same account: 2x the abuse, and again, we will never know about it - that would get rid of the whole "3 votes only" rule
