    • Vote spoofing prevention

    Posted by ganesht posts: 31 None

    hi all,

    I want to expose a voting system for anonymous user on internet. But at the same time i want a Vote spoofing prevention system.
    It can happen with help of cookies on users box. But by deleting cookies that user can again vote.
    Is there any way to implement vote spoofing prevention superior to cookies.

    Please help.

    Thanks,
    ganesht

    I understand the complexity of having polls that are not easiy forged but if a user wants to continually delete their cookie to vote it would be obvious if a system of log watching was layered over the polls.

    It could be simple as using cookies but for added protection against stuffing the ballot box it is much more difficult and not worth the project's attention, as there are many other items/bugs that need to be adressed (but this is only my opinion).

    I would like to have anonymous users vote on polls.😀
