It means how many hits or votes came in and how many hits(traffic) was directed towards the site.\n\nLike if you vote for a site then your vote'll be added in the "IN" section and if you clicked the link of that site then the "OUT" section will be incremented

Here in India we have EVMs, the electronic voting machines which have been used successfully in several general elections.\n\nThe voter has option to vote in by pressing one of  several buttons meant for different candidates. After each press of botton the machine gets locked which can be operated again by the presiding officer to be used for the next voter.\n\nAfter the voting is complete the EVMs are sealed in a particular manner and sent to a dsignated place wich is protected by the administration till the counting is done.\n\nOn a designated date the machines are brought and the seal is opened before the designated political agents of different parties.\n\nThe macine shows all the votes which wrere given to each  candidate.And after collecting information from all centres a candidate who gets most number of the votes, is declared winner.

We get a black marker and get to connect the arrows (makes you feel like you're back in kindergarten!).  A good question to ask is why do we have so many different ways to vote in the U.S..?  Wouldn't it make sense if we all followed the same process?  And wouldn't it be great if we could all vote via the internet or telephone?  (Surely they can make this a secure system!)   Anyway... thanks for voting!

Yes.  We had mechanical voting machines for decades.  You disappear behind a curtain and pull the crank to clear the machine when finished moving levers.  I've read those old monsters are the most precise.

There is some deal set up with between the show and the phone companies.\nThe PCs recieve the SMSs, and tally the votes with software after they are validated. This info is passed on to the show which then sums up between PCs (if there are more than one) and a result is delivered either during or after the show.

In every race there are mistakes made in the vote counting. Either a machine malfunctioned or ballots were miscounted. It just happens. And when a vote is as close as these two are, it is just natural to check for those mistakes.

If it's legit, voting for a website may help the website, advertisers, and the voting system know how many people enjoy that website.\n\nFor instance, if a poll is being run by CompuRag - the world famous (fictitious!) computer magazine (which gives out awards every year in their equally famous [fictitious] "Best Of Last Year" issue) you can probably guess that they just want users opinions on which sites they visit, who'se the best, etc...\n\n(Assuming that our fictitious magazine is legit, they may give out an award which the website will proudly present, though the website may also put that award to use by bumping up their advertising charges for the next year - still, worthy, and legit.)\n\nIF, on the other hand, a company like e-Spam (equally fictitious as the earlier mentioned CompuRag) is NOT a legit company (or merely posing as one,) the moment you click on the link, you may be deluged with pop-ups. What's worse, is they may take you to a seemingly-legit polling site, ask you a few questions about the website that you like, then ask for your e-mail address, (Anonymous Indeed!) which they'll use to spam you 'till the cows come home.\n\nOf course, the more awards a website can garner, the better off it is. (The more money they'll receive from SOMEone... either a legit company via click-throughs, {and having an award says "we get x-thousand visitors a day, etc..." means there might be more / better targeted advertising...} or via illegitimate means - both "help" their website.)\n\nSo, if you want to help out your favorite website, go ahead! It's not likely a legit website will resort to pulling a fast one like agreeing to be polled for by a company that wants to sign you up for spam! (Hey! Even if they are, just don't give your e-mail address!) Other than that, turn on your pop-up blocker, click there, and see what happens! If you recognize the pollster, you may well be doing your favorite website a favor!\n\nGood Luck!

Like all electronic instruments, it can be rigged. I am in a position where I can confirm that. The best method of voting remains 1 man/woman 1 vote via a ballot paper which has to be manually marked. I suppose the Republicans will disagree with this because it means they cannot use the Supreme Court to help them win elections.

There is one thing for  sure. There should always be a paper vote. There is no way to verify results without one.  Do not use a ballot with chads, just a plain piece of paper. with a hole punched in it. That eliminates the BS we all suffered during the 2000 election. Next, the ballots should be counted right there,  With representatives from both parties present. Not allowed by law to be moved. And finally, All voters must present a voter I.D. That would resolve most voter fraud.

YA says questions will stay open for voting for 7 days, and if tied, will stay open in 12 hour intervals until the tie is broken.\n\nHere's a link to more info on voting from YA:

peole who take polls (what they voted for) from people after they vote.\n\nIt is a way of getting an idea of the outcome before the votes are tallied.  Some think they should not be allowed to do this, because a persons vote is private, and even though you don't have to answer them, some may say they can intimidate people.
