Voting flaws found, fixed

A number of votes for the Collegian's Once in a Lifetime Plans a Wedding will be disqualified, despite reports Monday saying the results were accurate, officials said Wednesday.
The disqualification comes after Christopher Harrop, the Collegian's online editor, realized that more than 3,000 votes were registered between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
Suspicious, Harrop said he found out Wednesday morning that people were spoofing Internet protocol (IP) addresses.
"People were using an anonymous service, then registering a vote," Harrop said.
As a result, some computers have counted more than one vote per computer.
Harrop said he has all the disqualified numbers from Monday to noon Wednesday. Now he said he must go back and read last week's vote totals.
