[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 3686929, member: 14197"] I hear what you are saying, and "one person, one vote" doesn't mean "one household, one vote", but I think voting from home and from work violates the spirit of the law. It wasn't done as a means of representing additional family members, because it appeared that FtB was trying to get around the "one IP, one vote" rule. What are general rules regarding voting by proxy? I believe (IANAL) in political elections, there must be power of attorney to cast a vote for another. In a more relaxed law, would it only require written permission? What is the Ennies rule about the age of a voter? By this argument, I could hop around to various wifi spots, vote on behalf of my mother, sister, brother, wife, daughter, son, casting votes and tainting the results. And if your definition of "one person, one vote" is used as the reasoning behind it, then yes, it is valid I suppose. But it still violates the SPIRIT of the law in a malicious, disrespectful way.
