he may be right...i just tried voting with two sets of different info and it accepted the first vote but rejected the second. funny thing is i already voted from this ip the day it was announced 
i still don't understand why they would only let an ip address vote once. so there can only be one vote coming out from a kinko's, a workplace, a library or a school computer lab? these are all the types of places someone who doesn't own their own pc would turn to for internet access. how bizzare.

Voting authentication
Tim, the simple answer is that the webserver access logs register the IP of the incoming connection: whether that's from a router, a firewall, a proxy or other intermediary host is left as an "exercise for the reader" and it is not trivial to tell the difference. Since this is the only simple form of unique identifier, this precludes students and such from mobbing the vote. For instance, one could simply switch computers and vote again.
I think the IP and the login credentials are taken together. So, different people could vote again once they logged in as themselves from the same IP. I haven't checked on this, but it looks like others have.
Regardless, I wouldn't use this primitive voting program to elect the next President -- instead we suffer with programs and hardware designed by companies whose board members are friends with the President (Diebold, that is). I would focus your concern on votes that really matter instead of this little sandbox in the Internet jungle.
