Every second ElectionsMeter recognizes votes. Every day new polls are entered. Every day an old polls get updated. The system is being continuously improved and every day ElectionsMeter gets better. Continuously since 2008.<br />
<br />
The project however suffers a bit from its limited resources. We know we might get far better if we had enough supporters at every country.<br />
<br />
We trust that being independent is seriously necessary when one has on his target public elections (reliable monitoring of public opinion). So we do but the other side of independence brings limited resources.<br />

Come and vote.

Such attempts may discredit the outcome, rationality of poll’s results or our own efforts to create the democratic voting platform and true representative survey of public opinion. We then must protect all polls against external attempts of abuse. We protect all polls equally without exceptions. Democratic, equal and balanced system is at our mission.<br />
<br />
<i>The ElectionsMeter project is non-governmental, independent, non-profit and non-commercial project with ambitions to be a long-term and affordable alternative survey of public opinion in politics. We do our best (through an unusual number of complications) to implement the project independently, impartially, responsibly and seriously.</i><br />
<br />
Some polls has relatively small quantity of voters but high and growing popularity. In such a situation ElectionsMeter system must recognize and decide whether it is by result of bad attempt or by natural will of voters. System always applies our own general mathematic-statistic formula to decide it, in every minute, at every vote. <br />
<br />
Some polls in certain situations are protected by Captcha test. In extreme situation some polls get protected by temporal voting restriction.<br />

It is small country, good enough for initial introduction of the project and very close to our hearts.<br /><br />According to the plan we are about to visit Czech politicians and personally introduce them ElectionsMeter project, mission, background and the ways it might be useful to them and to the public. The introduction is supported and documented by <a href="http://zakulisi-em.blogspot.com/">Czech</a> written blog.

Readers then encouraged themselves to beat the poll to give lesson to all creationists. They came and hit the site with sudden high traffic so the site was overloaded. <strong>Within 24 hours 10 thousand users hit the poll (pike 3000 users per hour). </strong>To be honest we failed in this test of site performance. The site was very slow responding and even unavailable to some users so we decided immediately to review site code for better performance.<br /><br />The same poll link appeared also on Bannination site. Where someone posted discussion about Evolution <a href="http://www.bannination.com/comments/5069480">“Proof that Creationists are really juvenile. Do you love Jesus or Darwin?“</a> and linked the poll.<br /><br />It was pretty good exercise for us. For the first time we could experience really huge bunch of users using the site, voting and commenting. The only thing we could finally regret after such attack of users (I am sorry to say, fascist of unified opinion) the result of the poll is not very representative. Wow! This is part of democracy. The poll was not abused in any way but simply and perfectly reflects will of the users. A problem however exists with type of users (users of unified opinion). The poll simply and drastically misses users of the other opinion. We as the site providers cannot be asked to adjust the poll result according to any reason, we can only encourage rest of the population to express its vote. The big question is only are there any Creationist, do they know about the poll, do they have interest to join the poll, does the general population ever have interest to vote in poll, if then what the general population be voting for, are only fascists interested in voting? <br /><br />Will further users balance the result?EMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04359509654973914001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197700197020282386.post-16816595618684860892009-05-18T02:50:00.000-07:002009-05-18T03:26:34.583-07:00update
