Odd, but I voted using the Lynx browser, which doesn't support cookies
(or at least allows you to reject them), and it wouldn't let me vote
again.  (I was able to vote once.)

It may actually be that they are keeping track of IP addresses of
voters, and disallowing votes if your IP address is already on file.
So, those people who are behind proxies are screwed, and those who get a
dynamic IP address (e.g., via DHCP) may be able to vote many times.

That's just a guess, though.

Cheers,

Paul.
