"Self-selecting" in this case refers to people passionate about the games. I believe that draws from both sides of this issue, as you and I can attest. Multiple votes can only significantly skew the results if the sample size is pitiful, or if you have a really, really dedicated a-hole who makes it his mission to skew them lol. All polls are advertised to get one specific result. That doesn't make them invalid.
The only way to get an completely valid poll is to contact mass effect 3 users independently of any affiliation with this site or related sites. You will still not get a significantly varying result.
And in a fair and equal world, it would. But from the very start, this poll was allowing multiple votes which allowed the "We hate the ending" side to jump out to a huge lead that, quite frankly, disencfranchised anyone who would be pro-ending from voting in it. I think, for example, it's clear that I'm pro-ending. Yet I've never voted in that poll, nor will I. It is simply pointless.
Unless and until EA does a random survey of registered ME3 ownes, there can be no kind of proof one way or another. Though, for the record, I have never - and will never, without supporting evidence - claim that the pro-ending side is in the majority. I have also conceded - repeatedly - that the anti-ending side is a majority of BSN users. For whatever that's worth.
