I noted the total number of votes cast, and also that the screen still had my choice highlighted, as it did after I voted several hours ago.

I then clickety-click-clicked on Sanders' name again.

And GUESS WHAT !!!!!

The total number of votes remained unchanged.

But you knew that was how it would work already, didn't you!

You are about as up to speed on technology as Mrs. C., who still hasn't realized that many of her actions, such as rudely walking away from Senator Sanders after he had politely waited for her to finish a conversation with someone else after the debate, or . . . . .say . . . . accepting a bouquet of flowers from a little girl in Bosnia (rather than dodging sniper fire!!!) are recorded for posterity.

Next week's lesson: "The Cloud".

You see, there's this little thing called multiple devices over multiple IP's, and clearing cookies allows for complete resets and yes, Virginia, it does add to the count.

iPhone - 1 vote
iPad - 1 vote
home computer - 1 vote

Just for giggles, I just wiped the history off of my 2 i-devices and gave HRC 2 more votes off of them.. and suprise suprise.. she's did get 2 more counts.

So, yes, it's an extremely easily manipulated system of voting. But again, if this is what makes you feel better about things.. more power to you.

I'm good with cloud, but thanks for the offer. I love using both Icloud and my personal cloud.

ciao for now love.
