I guess one way to check it is to vote, clear it, close the browser, bring it up and try to vote again. If the vote counter increments, it is likely that it took.

The best way to do the check is to pick a time when most voters would be sleeping. I'm too old to try that one.

alas it looks like one would need a proxy server, an anonymizer service, or as you mentioned a firewall that hides the last few octets of your IP address to properly spoof the voting system into tallying the votes.

I think I have half of it solved already, but I’ve only had a few minutes to work on this here and there, plus I’ve got other more pressing issues to attend to. So, I guess we just let them cheat this one (not that new ground is being broken there or anything. AHEM... “vote early vote often”). Sorry, excuse me - I must’ve had something caught in my throat there.
