When you *command click* on this HTML link...

<a
href="http://https://voteprotect.org/index.php?display=EIRMapNation">voteproject.org</a>

It attempts to connect to this url...

http://www.https.com//voteprotect.org/index.php?display=EIRMapNation

NOTE: You need to command click. A regular click on the link will display an
error as it should.

Seems like it could be a security hole if the person who owns www.https.com and
decides to put up a page asking for your credit card info or something...
