Am I the only one annoyed by the new "confirm your vote" screen
that pops up after you vote in a poll? I could be, but I am just curious.... It's starting to drive me crazy and lately I'v been finding myself NOT voting in polls because it's just one more click on the back button if I do.

:)

3. One more click is one more click...
I'm anti-clicking. I'm trying to conserve energy so that I can save the environment.

4. Yeah, I don't care for it either.
Edited on Tue May-04-04 10:32 PM by Catch22Dem
I mean, even if I click the wrong damn thing. What does it matter? I thought the polls were just for fun anyway.

6. I concur!
Maybe I should author a poll on whether or not people are annoyed by it ;)

7. See, I would do that....but I like to vote BEFORE I see what other people
say...so I click the back button to get right back to the posts.

And doesn't that extra click annoy you just a LITTLE bit??? C'mon...admit it!

8. Nah. I find I regret voting in polls a lot less.
Before I'd realize I pressed the wrong button by mistake too late.

12. Yes, enough of this Diebold-mock-voting thing

Obviously, DU is part of the propaganda machine, trying to get us used to voting electronically through innocuous "polls" with faux-"confirmation" screens...

I want a paper trail!

I will not be desensitized to faulty and, I shall say, perniciously deceptive - unethical and ill-thought, I'll add, too - voting technologies!
