Bug in voting on featured article

I noticed awhile ago that when voting on the comments on a featured article on tech.lds.org, I get a message that says, "You can only vote once." If I vote on a comment that does not yet have any votes, it works fine. It seems that if any comment has one vote, no one else can vote and receives the "you can only vote once message."

Not a big deal, but I thought I should mention it so it could be fixed.

Yeah, there are some comments I really want to vote against and other comments I want to vote for!

Thanks. I've turned voting off. Currently voting does not work on our live site (it worked on our test site). The reason is because voting works based upon IP address or logged in username. Since no one logs in to the front end (not the forums) then it relies on the IP address. On the live site the only IP address the software sees is our load balancer. So therefore it always things that the vote has already been cast.
