Several have emailed that, Norma, but it hasn't closed. If you go to your preferences, delete cookies, you are able to vote again. I WISH they would close it, and I'll email them today asking to PLEASE close it, but it isn't closed. Maybe others could ask them, too?? Yesterday it was 10% and after some time voting, it went back down to 9%. So "they" are still voting and I just love it staying ta 9% or LOWER!!!!, so I'll keep checking. As has been written, the poll itself is useless as far as validity, BUT it shows our dedication, persistence, concern and numbers. And looks great when it gets "captured" and used in an announcement from our side:-) http://tinyurl.com/34wydq Thank you for voting!
