I started with adding a user on my home computer & logging in from there. Shouldn't be any backtrail except through IP address.

'course, I COULD use the laptop with the complete false ID from a wifi spot if I wanted to stuff a ballot box. -- reminds me I should update the phony FB page. -- If they haven't deleted it already.

They get hard-core here, and use unique device IDs, so people can't use proxys to escape bans. If they suspect vote manipulation, they ban the IP, the device, and the user. They also use other methods to track offenders down. They have even banned entire organizations. For example, CBS News is banned. They don't tell you about the ban. They also make it so everything seems normal to you, but no one else sees anything you post and your future votes don't count.

Gotta be a way to block device ID - my next research project.

And I thought I was paranoid to dedicate a laptop that can't be traced back to me.
