The evidence was a screen shot from another site. In it a member admits, in fact boasts, at having two usernames on winnipesaukee.com. And that he used both names to vote no limits.
I will try and send you the image in a private message, if it doesn't work you could PM me an email address.

No need to send me the screen shot, I believe you. One knucklehead shouldn't invalidate the whole poll. Stooges like that guy always try to beat the system and pretty much always get caught. Seems to me I recall a case where a person was posting as two different individuals on this forum to support a business (restaurant ?) he was quickly outed by the webmaster because his posts came from the same web address.
My problem here is not really your comments, it's that a poll that we are having trouble finding to verify how it was taken is quoted as infallable gospel, yet this poll is invalid because one rocket scientist claims to have voted twice. I and others have asked for information and stats to support a 45mph speed limit and have received nothing but emotional banter and a dubious poll (ok two dubious polls, one for, one against). When we ask for support to some of the claims, we get answers questioning our ability to grasp concepts rather than simple proof of how a speed limit will make things better.
We get answers like all the fast boats will leave (wrong), its implied that swimmers and paddlers will be safe in the middle of the lake because boats will be limited to 45 mph (wrong again). Proponents talk about wakes and shore erosion (won't be solved by a speed limit).
