How is this calculated?

The ABC is holding a poll at the moment at the site that they have setup for The Great Global Warming Swindle.

What I find amazing is that the "no" vote has been stuck on 75% for the last 2 days. It has not budged, even though the number of votes has climbed from 2000 to about 5500 since I started observing it. I have checked in every few hours, found that a few hundred more votes have been added, and have noticed that the no vote does not move from 75% or 76%.

Amazing. Does this mean that people are voting in a consistent proportion of 3:1 against? I would have thought that the polling numbers would have swung about somewhat - down to say 60%, then maybe up to 80%, then down again etc. Having them stuck on 75% for so long is deeply suspicious.

Someone at the ABC wouldn't be tampering with the results would they?
