"Some updates about this, since I dunno if you were following the thread. I did make an error copying and pasting
it, so it ended up showing something much worse than what I actually meant to show. But they went in after that

FWIW, the poll choices have changed again. 148 is now "Same", 149 is now "Better", and 150 is now "worse":
(input type="Radio" name="pollanswer" value="149" class="radio") Better off now that the U.S. is upholding U.N.
resolutions and holding Saddam accountable for his actions.
(input type="Radio" name="pollanswer" value="148" class="radio") The condition of the world is the same now as
it was before the war in Iraq.
(input type="Radio" name="pollanswer" value="150" class="radio") The world is actually in worse condition, and
Saddam should still be in power because the U.S. acted rashly.

Seraphiel writes They simply switched which item each button votes for, so all the votes for the "wrong" answer
end up being for the one they want.
It's actually more then that. They rigged the answers already given. When I voted last night there were approx
6500 total responses, with 75% of the vote going to "The World is actually in Worse Condition" answer, that's
about 4875 votes for that response. This morning, that answer stands at 4% of total responses, of 24843 total
responses. 4% of 24843 is about 993 total votes. So last night 4875 people had voted for that and this morning
it's only around 993....Hmmm....
