Hey Mike:

Just curious about this one comment from the below-mentioned link/site:

Questionable votes will be subject to confirmation by email.

If one votes by their e-mail adress, then if it's questionable, how are you
going to contact them? ...

or is this an electronic *chad* type of thingie and you'll try to feel
their intent?

<g>
