BY NIMAI NITAI DAS

USA, Jul 23 (VNN) — Please see correspondence below with Pollit.com, the organisers of the Chakra Polling system:

Dear Sir,

We are from the International Society of Krishna Consciousness.

Currently we are having an internal dispute running at Calcutta Court. Meanwhile CHAKRA.ORG had run a debate, the result of which was to be used in the court case. CHAKRA.ORG had registered with pollit.com with an ID of 91707.

On 19th of July 1999 just after GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) 0630 hours many of the third party moderators including our humble self have personally witnessed the poll scores shooting up from 218 upto 474 in a span of 2 to 3 minutes.

As we refreshed our browser, we saw with shock the higher and higher scores of "Ajamila". These are the scores we saw in each browser refresh: 218, 234, 252, 293, 399, 446, 474

This is not just unethical, but it is directly messing with the Judicial system which is right now underway. (If you have a FAX number, you may email it to us at nimainitai@hotmail.com and we will FAX you the concerned court papers.) Apart from this, the people whom Ajamila is representing are currently under a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT by the Windle Turley Legal Firm worth 2 Million USD. If you so desire, we will send you details of these too.

We thuse hereby humbly plead to you to kindly not entertain such vote rigging on behalf of CHAKRA.ORG on your website. If you help us in identifying the culprits, then we will make sure that your firm (pollit.com) is not held responsible when the proceedings in the Calcutta court calls for the poll results.

Hoping to recieve a sincere and gentlemanly reply from you.

Chakra polls r definitely rigged. They r rigged heavyily. Unless u take some strong actions against the people who duplitious in nature, who r under court jurisdiction rt. now, even u might land up in trouble.

So, remember the saying, "Prevention is better than cure." Get going. Stop this guys & expose them immediately so that innocent people can protect from themselves from such characterless characters.

Thankx, T Mill

It appears that some one from PP022.gator.net is repeatedly voting by changing their ip address by '1' after each vote. We are looking into a method that will stop this.

Although Pollit.com uses the most advanced methods of multiple vote prevention avalible today it is possible for skilled people with right equipment to vote more than once. Unless every human contains a tracking device embeded into his/her body it will always be impossible to stop 100% of multiple votes.
