Polls

==Polls and an internet utility, eVote==
For a number of years, one of the best internet software utilities for conducting democracy and polls has been eVote. The eVote web site is at Deliberate.com and hosted at Rauterkus.com/deliberate. 
:The eVote utility is an add-on to mailing lists. The blast list operated by Mark Rauterkus, 412-public-remarks, had more than 8,000 contacts in November 2004. When that list swells to more than 10,000, and as the campaign matures, the eVote elements will be injected into those interactions.
