well, after commandng a significant lead for some time yesterday, today the anti position took over the lead CONVINCINGLY. How do we combat this? This is obviously fraudulent, but how do we fight it?

Those who know how to turn cookies off need to educate the rest of us. Also, those who know people who ahavent voted or have ties to other forums need to help us get this vote out. Remember that public perception will win or lose the day for us.

Here is how you disable your cookie.

To disable your cookie in Internet Explorer
- click on Tools, Internet Options
- security (tab)
- Custom level (button)
- scroll down to Cookies "Allow cookies that are stored on your computer"
- click disable
- click o.k.
- click apply

It looks like some anti has written a small software program to get repetitive hits. The quickest way to vote manually is to disable your cookie, then vote, leave your cursor where it is, hit the Backspace key on your keyboard (this is the same as clicking on the back arrow), then vote again (your cursor should remain on the vote button).

These polls are silly as any one person can rig them.

One other thing, to vote faster after you disable your cookie, click on no, click on vote, then let go of your mouse (must be on vote button) and just toggle between the Backspace key and the enter key on your keyboard.
