yes, i got 2 emails with the same url with teh same token in it
so i can only vote once with that

(each token can only vote once)

id have to check the CIVS source on how this is achieved. i guess
its either storing the emails or hashes of them. or the tokens are
computed from the emails so the same email results in the same token

thx
