I have a php site the allows people to vote for their person. They are allowed to vote once per person per day. Well we all know where that lead people creating fake accounts to vote as many times as possible so I started limiting it to 5 per ip address per day figuring it would still allow people with dial up to vote and such. Well this worked fine until people figured out how to change their ip address. Anyone got any better ideas for limiting the voting they already have to register to vote.

There's nothing you can really do. If people want to cheat, they will. This isn't for something scientific, is it?

No but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing an obvious way to stop them

You could always remove them.
I'd probably just post that you know people are cheating the votes and therefore they have become meaningless. Until such time that they grow up you will not create any serious polls.
