The 480,000 people who had registered on Dr. Dean's Web site before the polling was announced will be invited to cast ballots through a secure online server. Another 89,000 will receive telephone calls asking their opinions, and 25,000 more, for which the campaign only has street address, will receive telegrams instructing them how to call in their choice, complete with security code.

In an effort to discourage outsiders from throwing the vote — particularly among the hundreds, if not thousands, of Republicans and people working for other Democrats who have signed up on the Dean Web site to monitor his activity — the campaign is requiring voters to declare that they will vote only once, are United States citizens, and support Dr. Dean for president.

The Dean campaign would then have its rivals on record making the embarrassing declaration that they support Dr. Dean for president should they participate in the survey. "If Jim Jordan's in our system," Mr. Trippi said of his counterpart, Senator Kerry's campaign manager, "and he wants to vote `no,' I want him to check that box."
