Phantom, it sounds like somebody has already voted with the same IP address that you're using. This can happen in a couple of ways. One is if your network shares an IP address. If somebody else on the network voted, that pretty much means that nobody else on that network will be able to. Although the chances are much slimmer, it could also happen when you have an ISP that assigns different IP addresses each time you log on to the Internet. I guess it's possible that somebody else was assigned a certain IP, voted and then you were assigned the same IP and attempted to vote. I think this one is highly unlikely to happen. Other than that, I'm stumped. If you can give me your IP address, I can look it up and see when the votes came in for that particular IP.
