Do these idiots think these polls are anonymous?

I can't say for DU, but any poll here is. I'm sure I could hack the database and find out who voted which way, but seriously, is it worth it?? Not IMO. More work than its worth and I could GAFF about how someone votes. The people that voted for 0baMao are reaping their just "rewards", along with the other 48% of the nation who didn't vote for the Socialist in Chief.

Some forum software allows the poll poster to make it a public or private poll so you can see who voted how and sometimes allow more than one vote.
I've seen $kammer claim they use a highly modified custom version of their software so I have no doubts they know exactly how to gather the poll info.

Voting incorrectly on DU polls is a bannable offense. There was a poll in the past that Skins used to ban n'er-do-wells and then posted a thread explicitly stating just that.

They've certainly banned 'Wrong answer responders' in other polls very frequently, the idea that there is any anonymity in responding to DU polls is a total fantasy.

This one isn't necessarily a moletrap as far as the basic results are concerned, a 1000+ poster could survive by expressing that the unhappiness was due to the O-man not being Left enough, not raping the rich enough, or letting himself be misled by advisors who weren't Progressive enough.  Now, putting a comment in that 'I'm actually thinking of voting for the Republican instead,' THAT would get you banned.
