Hi gang:

What methodology would be the best for online voting?

I have a client who is a Union and they want members to vote online, but
don't want someone to stuff the voting box.

I have some ideas of my own, but would like to hear what you people
would recommend.

Cheers,

Being a union I would expect that they want some way to control the
stuffing to their advantage.  :-)



Also, don't forget to insure the is NO audit trail.  e.g., all champaign contributions less than 
$200, even for some credit cards that post $199 1000 times.

vote form collects choice and union member id.
unique index on unionMemberId in the db

swap union id for ip if needed

if using ip and you want subnet detection simply convert the ip to it's 
integer value and count everything +/- subnet/X(size)
