Andheri, Powai 14 polls HBSCE 16-9=5 polls, there were 10 a repeted poll from the same IP address at the same time. So I have removed the 9 polls from it. Town 6.
That's a very incorrect way to measure polls! An IP address these days does not guarantee anything! The entire IITB campus is visible to the outside world only as a set of 16 (I think) IP addresses. And all the students browsing the web appear to do so from only - our proxy server.
In addition, any ISP will be reusing IP addresses using DHCP, which means two valid voters may unwittingly use the same IP address when connecting to your site! But the second case is less likely, and since you say "at the same time", it becomes impossible.
