Bednarik Voting

Laurenitis gets credit for 1.5 votes for every 1 vote actually cast.

If you have more than one browser installed on your machine, you can vote once on each browser. You can also use a different logon if you have that on your machine. You could probably also just delete the appropriate cookie file from system to vote again, but could lose some other personalization on their site. I just voted four times.

When I tried this, I noticed that the vote total listed at the bottom of the popup didn’t change from one time to the next, but when I went from FireFox to IE and back to FF, the total for the popup from FF was lower than the total for IE. So I don’t know what that means. Anyway, here are the steps to allow yourself to vote multiple times. I tried these & they work on my machine, but your milage may vary & I take no responsibility for what happens on your machine when you do this.

FireFox: From the Tools menu, select Options. Select the Privacy tab. Click on the Show Cookies button. Expand the item for go.com. Select the item for “POLL377”. Click the Remove Cookie button. (Be sure not to hit the button which says something like remove all cookies.) Click Close. Click OK. You should probably exit FireFox & restart it, but I’m not positive you need to do it.

Internet Explorer: Exit all instances of IE. (You probably need to exit anything that runs an IE subprocess like Outlook or Word.) In your favorite file manager, like Windows Explorer, go to the documents and settings directory for your login ID. Most likely this is “C:\Documents and Settings\{LoginID}” where {LoginID} is replaced by your login ID. Go to the “Cookies” subdirectory. Find a file called “{LoginID}@go1.txt” where {LoginID} is replaced by your login ID & the digit “1” might be “2” or something. Edit that file with your favorite text editor, like NotePad. The sections are separated by asterisks ("*"). Find a section that starts with “POLL377” and highlight from that line up to and including the next line with just an asterisk. Delete the highlighted lines, save and exit. Restart IE.

He does have the entire west coast vote to himself. And probably most of the South. I can’t imagine many people in SEC and ACC land have heard of Project Mayhem. Likewise, I doubt any of them have any respect for Laurinaitis.

Is this a KC thing? And have you received it?
