These little polling thangs are inaccurate. I prefer members (who could give a rats as$) to email the Jimster. And then instead of a poll you have a vote.

I don't think the polling feature has the capability to limit voting to only DOA members.

Not that it'd ever happen, but somebody could easily stuff a ballot box with the polling feature as the lone voting mechanism.

Internet voting is available for corporate proxy ballots, but it's expensive.

Alright, I vote no for one reason and one alone...on a poll you can vote MANY times, while through email it is more fair and you only get one vote per member, which would not undercut any of the candidates and keep the election fair and square. On top of that you restrict the ballots to DOA members alone, who are the only people the election does and should affect. If you want a vote, sign up to be a member. If you don't...bugger off.
