What would it take for this  XML

I have an idea for the poll, question is towards the resident geniuses here who know the inner workings of it. What would it take, and is it possible to incorporate an email response to the poll? Meaning, the poll vote does not register unless the person clicks a link that is automatically sent to them when they vote. This way may help a little more over the cookie precaution over multiple votes, and definitely over the useless IP check. Can this happen, is anyone willing to take this on, or has anyone seen such a script?

just curious, but why do you say the IP check is useless. I use it and it works perfectly for me. Is there a dissadvantage that I am missing?

IP check will prevent a WHOLE lot of people from voting because of proxies like aol, colleges, and others.

People can delete the cookies and vote again. And from what I'm doing people are going to be sure to do that.
