ERISA Hotties: A Note on the Voting

Only a few hours are left for you to vote in our ERISA Hotties Contest. Per our prior announcement, the voting will end at 1 p.m. today. Click here to vote on the men, and here to vote on the women (if you haven’t done so already).
A number of you have emailed us to report that when you try to vote, you receive an “You’ve already voted’ message, even if it’s the first time you’ve tried voting. Unfortunately, this is a technical issue, and one that lies beyond our control — it’s controlled by Pollhost, which is administering this poll. We made an inquiry to Pollhost about this problem, and we received this explanation:

Users are restricted from voting more than once a combination of IP address and cookies. Sometimes a single office shares an IP address and a user is upset when their co-workers are unable to vote. The way this works is the best possible means available.Pollhost

We regret the inability of the polling software to distinguish between different computers within certain officers. But, as noted, there’s nothing we can do about it…
As we stressed last week, all results are final. Whether we’re talking about ERISA hotties or presidential candidates, this truth should be kept in mind: Our voting system may be imperfect; but it’s the only one we’ve got.
