Actually I'm sick of polls. How can they be so damn far off? I think the media is in on this. They are freaking out cuz he actually is winning. Of course, we don't hear that.

Since I have software which erases cookies every time I leave a website, I can vote multiple times.

Basically, depending on the anti virus, malware, system security software you are running and how it functions can give you the ability to vote multiple times.

Honestly, this makes perfect sense.

Unless you can invest in a better system, free is what developers turn to the most.

Cookies gonna be cookies.

Wow, when was the last time you heard Freeper?

but this morning I can't vote anymore logged in or out.

If you want, you can try and vote again to find out if it's still broken. I got on "Team Bernie" who posted the poll and told them it's F'ed up and that it makes him and his supporters look bad.

as of this morning I can't vote anymore.

It's up to you though it'd be nice to verify it.

Also, they could have just shut it down.

I wonder if it filters out duplicate IP's before a tally, it's pretty basic to do this. Been around this stuff for 20 + years and the basics are "build the UI so a monkey can use it" and do all the rest of the calculations in the background.

Still searching for validity but it's hard to know how it's built.

I would hope KOS and Bernie wouldn't inflate their actuals but who knows at this point.

ORIGINALLY POSTED TO KOS ON TUE NOV 03, 2015 AT 08:56 AM PST.

ALSO REPUBLISHED BY TEAM BERNIE AND DAILY KOS.

Let you know if I find anything.

although I did try it twice, once not as a member and once as a member and could still vote twice.

I'd stay away from KOS polls till for a bit.

I'm not the only one that asked this question.

Sad state of affairs, hoping it's a website glitch cause they been using this software for a while.
