It reset about 3:30 & is at 75% dims (426) to 23% GOP (131) now.

cynwoody, I’m on a Mac, so just opened a bunch of new windows, voted each & then reset all/ start over. (I’m not tech savvy).

Good job, oldenuff! (KSAT has a pretty conservative crowd, but help is VERY welcome. Thank you!)

Just tried that. It appeared to work. This poll is unusually unprotected!

I've seen others where they actually limit it to one vote per IP.

In one such case, as a favor for a friend who went to a certain mid-western high school, I stuffed a poll in the hometown paper over which of two HS's would be closed due to budgetary constraints. It seemed to depend on IP address. So, I wrote a script to log onto Verizon Wireless, vote (via a cookieless script), drop the wireless connection, and repeat (with a new IP). The result was an apparent overnight sea change in pubic opinion on the school closure.

Fortunately, most polls don't check IP; they just use cookies, which are defeated by Incognito and Private Windows.
