*I* get to vote early and often. *You* get to vote early and often.  Most of
the other 50-60 frequent posters here get to vote early and often.  Most
of the 30,000 or whatever subscribers *probably* get to vote early and often.

The vast majority of the half a billion people online get their votes done via
DHCP'ed proxy by their ISP, early and often.

Anybody who's ever had to work a help desk and explain to a Windows user
which IP goes in the nameserver and which IP goes in the default gateway
knows that letting the users vote early and often is a guaranteed operational
nightmare.  That nightmare is why DHCP exists. ;)
