Note: don't submit your own ranking ("rerank" ) .  The disadvantage is it only lets you vote once, so your "super vote" isn't as powerful as repeated votes.
 For example, when I reranked Cornell actually dropped because (I assume) I lost my revotes.  Also it appears there's no going back once you rerank.  So it was a Bad Choice (tm).  :-(

BTW the crosstab rankings (men, region, etc) don't seem to make any sense.

I would expect that if you were to delete your cookies for ranker you'd be able to vote again.

I have no idea how to delete cookies selectively for one website

However, blowing away cookies does enable you to vote again.

I think I will try this.

The procedure is a little different for the different browsers, but it should be possible in any of them. (It's certainly possible in Chrome and Firefox.) In a nutshell you find all your cookies, and then within that screen search for "ranker", and then just delete the "ranker" cookies.

It's pretty straight-forward.

Thanks, it was easy.  I didn't think to try the browser settings, I thought you had to somehow go through the site itself.

No problem at all.

So...did clearing the Ranker cookies allow you to vote again?

Yes you can. I believe you can also vote once with each browser without messing with cookies. So for a Windows 10 PC that should mean once for each of the two MS browsers and once for the browser you actually use.
