What are you using other than tor? I can only get TOR to work on socks, so how should I go about using the 'http' proxy?

If anyones script dies from the page throwing an error, put a rescue in there. Mine was dying with inconstant amounts of votes so the rescue keeps it going.

Also, don't forget to run through a proxy if the voting cast are close together. They will stop you for a brief time if too rapid. Netshade for mac does a good job when you throw it on auto-cycle proxies.

@mehh If you have tor running you can add these lines instead of line 7 and it should work through Tor

profile['network.proxy.socks'] = 'localhost'
profile['network.proxy.socks_port'] = 9150
profile['network.proxy.type'] = 1

Comes from the Selenium documentation.
