Yeah, that kinda sucks that it's not working 100% right.  
Unfortunately the only other simple way I can think of is to force  
everyone to create an account and then vote, but I don't think that's  
a good idea either.

I'm using the built-in poll functionality in the CMS software for  
now, but eventually I'll either fix it to check for browser cookies,  
or write a different poll tool.
