Some poorly coded voting applets will also save your vote to a cookie.. Which means, disabling cookies for that particular page can allow you to vote infinity times as you refresh the page :).. Try it..

Another issue relates to the way ISP's issue IP addresses. If you use a dial up connection you are only issued an IP address for your session the IP address is re-used by the next session after you've disconnected. Also in some parts of the world ISP's don't issue static IP addresses to broadband routers, they change the IP address you're using every day, so someone could have voted yesterday using the same address.

Where I work we route all web-traffic through a proxy which points to one of 3 cache machines, so your IP is usually detected as one of those IP's.

Can causes problems for us - like last week when we were blocked from indirect searching on google for 12 hours, and our near constant IP ban from Wikipedia.

Actually, AOL not only puts their users behind a bank of routers, but during a single session the IP address you're presenting to external sites can change from moment to moment.
