it's very easy to from one server's url address to another server thousands of miles away.....same scriptname on both servers......but the actual script coding on that 'other' server can be programmed to flip votes. Then the processing is switched back to the initial server.....now the vote totals have been 'flipped'.
Happens without anyone who's watching the screen even knowing that there was a primary and secondary server being switched. This happened in 1999 with Ohio SOS's computers.....switched to Chattanooga TN
