I've been through every vote again to look for any sign of multiple voting. I
can now say almost certainly that there weren't 50 multiple votes by anyone
(unless trouble was taken to say "Hi" in some, comment on your choices in
others, come up with different lists of five in others, and vote for Kasparov in
several (not very helpful towards Bobby) and would doubt there was any
significant stuffing of the ballot. I'm really not sure of your motives in
posting this at all. Remember this wasn't an automatic thing, all votes were
sent via E-Mail and the votes were compiled manually. I'm pretty sure if 1/10th
of the votes were from one person using different E-Mail accounts I'd have
spotted it. The possibility that stuffing could happen, of course occurred to
me. I didn't see any evidence. Care to provide any evidence to back up your
assertion? Any at all?
