If I'm reading the code right the vote button just redirects you to http://www.q1043.com/c/?7h&day=after. I imagine they are parsing their server logs to uniquely identify voters by ip.

Still I'm tempted to put curl into a loop on that url.

by ip *and* date, no?

and, since they say "one vote per device", I am likely to have multiple devices in my house and their local, private ip addresses are unique of course, but to the radio station they're all coming from my router's ip address, doncha think? If so, how would they accept two votes in one day from two devices inside my own home?

just thinking out loud here.

Indeed.

Right. Requests from cell networks would have another ip address. So I'm thinking that's what they mean by "device". Home network connection and then cell connections.

If they are just filtering by ip and date, they wouldn't. If they add other things like UA or OS then they might.

My point is that there is no form submission of any type. The "voted today" state of the page is only displayed when &after is appended to the query string. So it can easily appear that you're voting multiple times (different browser sessions, back button, devices), but with no live counter it's impossible to tell if your votes are counting.
