Or more properly, where your ISP is located. If I am an AOL member, for 
example, it will appear that I am located in Virginia, where AOL has its 
headquarters.

If you want to vote more than once in such a system, you need to change 
your IP address. So for example, if you're on a dialup system, you need 
to disconnect and reconnect and hope the IP the system assigns you the 
second time is different from the one it assigned the first time. 
Chances are, it will be. I have a similar result when I restart my 
DirecWay satellite modem.
