Hacker News Reader

I'm suspiciously seeing, "2,643 people +1'd this."

While I would be excited to see such enthusiasm relating to a government property, this doesn't smell kosher.

For me it shows that one of my friends +1'd it. I'm pretty sure he +1'd the real Stack Overflow though.

That is worth verifying, as it would be an interesting bug in how Google transfers juice between redirects.

My thoughts exactly.
