I'm not. I'm just joking.

More seriously, the number of posters who have an "I Voted" icon have jumped up quite a bit since the time the "controversy" broke. I'd venture to guess that the rise in the number of icons is substantially reflective of more people voting than people playing games.

Causation or coincidence? Well, that's a bit of a guessing game without a control group. But I'd be shocked if voting didn't increase -- at least somewhat more than would otherwise have been the case -- because of the avatars and "controversy".
