I feel like it should be emphasized that these are not verified random anyway. You can do an xdy, preview the post, and if you don't like what you rolled, just preview again, and you get a different result. So this should be viewed as a tool for people who don't want to go to random.org or for mods trying to distribute roles, and not proof that your random vote really was random.

I'm not claiming that the random number generator is flawed: I'm claiming that I can change what number comes up. Okay, so my trick before didn't work. But certainly leaving the page, coming back, and previewing a different time would generate a different "fixed" result, right?
