So the from IP address is recorded as part of the HTTP transaction for each form
submission. Thus, the results reporting could, in fact just take the last
vote for each IP address and report such results. Thus, it wouldn't have to
complain about duplicates. But, if you voted repeatedly and saw the numbers
changing per your voting attempts, then it's clearly not configured to be smart
about taking votes only once for each IP address.
