If you'd like to "influence" the voting, then vote multiple times.
On election day in Chicago the phrase is "Vote Early and Vote Often"

"But 007, my screen won't let me see the voting buttons anymore."

and
Vote again

All's fair in love, war, and assault weapons bans? I agree that it isn't the wisest thing to do, but no one can say that they aren't doing the same thing. Either way, with the "cheating" by both sides the poll is a moot point that doesn't really prove anything.

You are not referring to MAC address changer? Or are you meaning a program to change actual address via a VPN of some sort.

"Killing a lot of people very quickly". I don't know about you, but that sounds like nuclear bomb to me but not any shoulder fired weapon. They could be wanting us to not pay attention to what they are planning to do, so don't fall for it, always be aware of the current situation, no matter how much it hurts.
