A small number of users repeat voted in our current pollabout John Kerry and the Swiftboat Ads. Oddly, a few of themrepeated on both sides of the question, but by far thelargest number of repeat votes were in favor of Kerry beinga liar. We have adjusted the poll to remove most of theserepeats, and, when it was adjusted, it appeared that you aredivided over Kerry’s record in about the same way as thecountry as a whole. We will install poll software that willmake it harder to repeat votes, so that this sort of abusewill not recur. To vote in our current poll (once, please!) click here.
