Many thanks for this salsameg.
Interestingly, all the internet opinion polls which allowed only one vote per IP address showed Harry winning by the same margin.
The single-vote DS Readers Poll was spot on as it accurately predicted Harry winning with 50.8% of the votes:

In reality, it looks like multiple phone-voting by obsessive fans in SCD tends to cancel each other out or may not be as high/widespread as we think due to the short voting period and costs involved.
In contrast, it was only the DS forum polls which allowed multiple votes per IP address that gave the reverse result i.e. Chelsee winning with 60%+ votes.
Perhaps this will prompt the Mods to ensure that all future forum polls have the same safeguards against multiple votes as the DS Readers Polls?
