Generally, though, polls I've participated in are always anonymous and that's how we set them up on the forums I moderate, unless for some reason management requests other. The site owner or the development team (anyone with root access to the database) can read the raw results if they so choose, regardless.
Thanks.

So who voted is ultimately not really anonymous and it is just "secret" to the extent that anyone with control over root access to the database wishes it to be? Same goes for how such persons voted? Seems like déjà vu.
