This is only the latest example, but it seems to happen to nearly every poll. Not sure what is going on, but I don't see a point in having the poll option if the results aren't reliable and only voted on by registered members of the forum. Is this something the moderators can fix?

I seldom vote in polls anymore and restrict my involvement to commenting on the issue within the thread itself. So many polls seem to be spammed in some way that they become meaningless.
 
Is there no way to block guests from voting in polls? It really is getting ridiculous.

Based on the poll results I'd say that some liberals rigged it (surprise, surprise!:lamo)

Seriously, your best bet is to make the poll public. I may be mistaken but I think the results of a public poll are filtered to only site members.

No, it was a conservative trying to blame liberals. Man, it is downright easy to make guesses based on no real evidence of any sort. You can say anything...

I've often heard it said that conservatives think liberals are wrong and liberals think conservatives are evil.

The poll wasn't bogus.
