We also need to keep copying or saving the results to use in letters to politicians and news papers, so even if you've already voted, keep checking the polls and updating the results.

And the big Kahuna, ABC News Poll @11:43PM -http://abcnews.go.com/?lid=ABCCOMMenu&lpos=ABCNews

There are at least 32 confirmed dead in the shooting at Virginia Tech University, making it the worst campus shooting in American history. Law enforcement officials believe the gunman was firing at least one 9mm semi-automatic pistol.

Do you think this incident is a reason to pass stricter gun control legislation?

No. Violent shootings are isolated incidents and it's irresponsible to link them to gun control.
76,314 -- 74%
Yes. This shows the violence that can occur when someone has access to handguns.
24,964 -- 24.21%
I'm not sure. I need more information.
1,853 -- 1.8%
Total Vote: 103,131

Why? Do you think they can track that the voter came directly from a pro-gun site?

I like the idea of keeping track of the polls for use later. Sending the results to our state and federal reps may be something that will help us. Don't let the results disappear because they aren't what they wanted to hear.

It's in the referring URL, some poll sites will discount large numbers of votes coming from one referring URL as I understad it, so we just err on the safe side when we can.
