Apropos of nothing, Paul Wells is the most recent blogger bemoaning a hijacked online poll (in this case by the Ignatistas -- which seems to be a common way of smearing political types of all pursuasions these days -- ie. harperistas, dionistas, etc.) Give me strength.
By its very nature, an online poll cannot be hijacked. It exists free to anyone with a mouse pad. If friends or co-conspirators tell each other to go and register their opinion at an online poll there is nothing nefarious going on. It's the darn internet!
A more apt description for the phenomenon of a poll being flooded by a group of like-minded people would simply be "usage."
