not if you use different email addys, I don't think. They seem to rely on confirmation being sent back from a working, unduplicated email address

Email addresses may just be one thing they check. They can also be comapring names as well as IP addresses of the computer you use.

I'm running a poll on a website for work, and each day we check for duplicates. Anything that looks suspicious we dump all of the votes.

I can't speak to what methods they are using for the Zeebys.

Comparing ip addresses, unless there is a ton of addys from that same ip, doesn't seem very useful. The odds are that let's say, a family of 5, would likely all be using the same ip, and each person have a legitimate email addy

There are lots of ways that comparing IP addresses won't find useful information, but sometimes people don't realize what is being checked. Alo, the way AOL works, multiple people using AOL will all show up as the same IP, even if they live in different places. Yes, different names and different email addresses will help. But in the poll I'm managing there was a clear case of ballot stuffing when 20 votes all came in from the same IP address in a thirty minute period, plus all of the names used were in alphabetical order. As I said, I don't know how they are processing the votes, they may just consider each verified address as a valid vote. I don't remember the exact wording they used when I voted (for VV of course!)

I voted from all 3 of my email addresses. I think I will go vote with my husband's email addresses now too. \:\)
