Patrick Ruffini yesterday noticed something strange when he happened to log into Hillary Clinton's campaign site from an in-store WiFi location (yes, stranger than a Republican pundit and strategist frequenting Hillary's campaign website while at a commercial WiFi hotspot). When he logged in he noticed, curiously, that the prominent images and headlines on the site implored him to "Help Hillary Win Indiana," which was curious since he was in a suburban Virginia location at the time.

He verified later, though, that most residents of Indiana locales were seeing the appropriate regional version of the website, while folks elsewhere were seeing a version of the site promoting the idea that Michigan and Florida ought to have their votes count in the Democratic Primary (in case you're not following the American primary coverage, they were disqualified for not following proper party rules in the scheduling of their voting days).
