I beleive platforms and websites can use the IP address of the device being used. My question is whether a part-time California visitor who claims residency in another state, but visits California about three months out of the year, falls into this category.

- Do Super Bowl Ads Drive Performance?

Thanks for the comment, Ed. I always love your insight, but I've never bought a product based on seeing a Super Bowl ad - at least none that I can remember. I'm entertained by them, but they do not drive me to make a purchase. Yes, the sample in the research is small. Do you recall products you have bought after seeing a Super Bowl ad? Maybe I did a search after seeing a new product, but cannot remember ever making a purchaes.

Hi Charles - nope, no hack. And you are correct when you write this - "which means you need to still own your previous residence to get multiple voting options by mail." I changed scrolls to rolls. Just trying to call attention to a major problem in California that creates misinformation. I have not voted in the state for four years, and got called for jury duty for the second time in as many years a few months ago.
