EVERYONE,

TRY SeattleTiger's idea, from Post #110.


SeattleTiger's GREAT IDEA:
One reason it may not recognize you: the poll software uses your IP address to figure out if you have voted in the last hour. Most of the time, your IP address is randomly assigned each time you log on, unless you're among the relatively small minority who have a static IP address.
So, if you disconnect and then reconnect, you have another IP address and the poll software may not recognize you from your prior visit.

I tried it, and it WORKS!
I voted again right away.

This is what I did:

1. VOTE

2. DISCONNECT from the Internet. I have simple dial-up, 28K modem, with Earthlink as my service provider. I don't know if this works with cable modem, DSL, etc.
I didn't have to shut down my computer or anything. In fact, my Browser remained as an active application.

3. RECONNECT to the Internet.

4. Go to TBO.com and VOTE

5. Repeat Steps 2-4


DISCONNECT, RECONNECT, VOTE!


If this doesn't work, I have another plan that worked for me also. It's a little more cumbersome, but not too hard!
