========================= 
What happened to this 
poll? The poll for 
Streetcar, Rail or Bus is 
no longer showing.
 
Does anybody have the 
results?

=========================
That poll went for weeks, 
and 'Streetcar' was always 
ahead by about 55% with 'Rail' 
at about 35% and 'Bus' at 
around 10% -- until the very 
end, when literally overnight 
somebody hacked the poll so 
that 'Bus' was suddenly at 90% 
right at the point when METRO 
Magazine ended the poll, 
freezing that fraudulent 
result.

It turned out that repeat 
votes were being permitted.

I contacted the publisher, Mr. 
Frank DiGiacomo, and he had a 
staffer (Jenna) contact me. 
Jenna agreed to check the poll 
and if it appeared to be 
skewed, to void it out.

The poll "results" stayed up 
for several weeks and when I 
reminded Jenna, it was taken 
off "Past poll Results" 
permanently. And now all METRO 
polls will be set for one vote 
per person.

I want to thank everyone 
who participated.
