    I got the same error when trying to submit a vote as an Anonymous Coward, but was successful when I voted earlier as a logged-in user. There were some coding changes made to the site to handle quoted text to avoid XSS issues. I just updated the poll to avoid that being a problem.

    Original question:

    How often do you read a story's "from the something-something dept." line?

    New version:

    How often do you read a story's dept. line?

    Let's see if that makes a difference.

      Additional info: current hypothesis is that logged-in users can vote, but not ACs. Just tried voting as an AC and got the error message "This resource is no longer valid. Please return to the beginning and try again.". Then I logged in as another user, voted for '75%' choice, and I see that the vote *was* recorded. Vote total is now at 4. At the moment, these have been selected, once each: 10%, 50%, 75%, and the 'Thanks to this poll'

        Curiouser and curiouser... logged off from above acct, tried again to vote, and saw that the vote was recorded:

        "Your vote (8) has been registered."

        For what it's worth, at this point there was a cookie established for that session.

          Same here. Vote failed. Logged-in/out and the vote went through. On mobile if that matters.

          AC with cookies and scripts blocked, and I guess it worked. I voted, got no error, and was sent to this comment page. But, I did not look at the counts before voting, so don't know if it was counted.

            Another AC with full blocking. I got no error, but my vote was not registered. On second try, however, it was.

        Obviously the right wingers are trying to steal another election.

          Is that why Obama got elected. Twice . . .

        Oddly enough, on the old green site, I was only able to see the polls as an AC--the moment I logged in, the poll disappeared.

    OP here again. Now it said that my vote was registered. No JavaScript, no cookies.

    So everything is well in the kingdom once again! Kudos & thanks.
