Notice when you vote for Kerry, it adds one vote to the total, without changing the current percentages. No matter which button you push, the vote is added to Bush's total. Kerry has one vote: 0.4% of 245 is 1 vote; if a vote for Kerry had registered, it would have increased to 2/246, or 0.8%. Instead, the vote is given to Bush, for a total of 245/246 = 99.6% for Bush. If you keep hitting it (from a different IP each time), eventually it will become 0.3% for Kerry. Just watch.
