A good idea, but I have another one. How about giving a reason for voting or not voting for a particular candidate? Put this on the exit polls, or in the voting booth.
Perhaps you should replace "Win3.x" with "MS-DOS". As I recall, Win3.x apps worked horribly under Windows '95, due to programmer's shortcuts that Windows '95 won't allow. DOS programs, however, often work better under Windows 95 then they do under Windows 3.x.
\FLAMEBAIT\ Isn't this a British show? Why would posting on Slashdot, whose audience is mostly American, have any effect? Unless the show is providing free travel, I'm not going across the Atlantic just to be on a show that is not entirely popular in America. \/FLAMEBAIT\
Making it illegal here might limit the problem, but it won't eliminate it, because the internet doesn't have political boundries. Simply pay some company in Korea to do it. You might have to do a little money laundering, but you still get the job done.
