    What I can't understand is the Poll results, considering the negative letters in the comments, I smell a Rat, or it's Tom's family all voting in favour for him.
    He is going to appear on 891Radio this morning at 8.30am, will be interesting listening. The funny thing about all this is that Rann has backed himself into a corner by supporting this twit. That's factions for ya.
    Martin Hamilton Smith (the Liberals) must feel like Xmas has come early...............it's bloody good to see the heat back on Rann and Co instead of the motorcyclists.

    Parties deny they mess with our polls

    THE Liberals say Labor does it, Labor's adamant the Liberals are doing it and both deny they've ever been guilty of it... but our readers don't believe them.

    Today's AdelaideNow poll on whether Road Safety Minister Tom Koutsantonis should have quit his job over 30-plus traffic offences drew thousands of votes, but while comments on the associated story clearly indicate that the majority of readers wanted him to go, the vote remarkably stayed neck and neck.

    Many of our readers have told us they believe Labor staffers have been using a technological trick to stack the vote towards their man as much as possible.

    So we contacted senior Mike Rann adviser Jill Bottrell and asked her.

    She said she did not know it was possible to manipulate an internet poll "although we've long suspected the Liberals have been doing it".

    She said she was not aware of any staffers or Labor Party members who tried to manipulate polls in the Government's favour  "and it's nothing I would condone".

    Readers have accused the LIberals of playing the same trick on other stories, so we contacted chief Liberal minder Kevin Naughton. He said his people didn't have the software available to manipulate our polls, but he was sure Labor did.

    Which party do you think is most likely to attempt manipulation of our polls? Vote now at the right of this screen and leave your thoughts in the comment box below.

    "We wouldn't do it because we want to know what people really think... but we don't take any notice of the figures after three or four hours because we know that Labor would be doing it (manipulating the numbers) by then," he said.

    For the record, there are ways to vote more than once on many internet polls on most internet news sites and most internet-savvy readers are aware of them. We tend to believe that if one party is trying it on in a political poll, their opponent probably is too, thus evening out the result.

    We also believe our readers know their net and take possible manipulation into account when they check the progress of our polls.
