Everytime I try to vote it keeps telling me I have entered the wrong code. I know I can make mistakes, but 4-5 times in a row? And this is the 3rd time I have tried to vote! What's up with the site? Is anyone else having this problem?

Oh, it is frustrating. They do have a "change" choice under the code box...but I usually do that anyway, after I apparently typed in the wrong code! Those blasted 0's and O's look a lot alike, too! Thinking of you and this wonderful time of remembering faith, family...and friends. That's you!!
