A better voting mechanism will be feasable later when voting is more secure
(via member sign-in, and after there are at least ~500 members or so), but
for now it's still very easy to stuff the ballots. In fact, when I compared
Huw's site against your site last week, the ballot had been stuffed by 2x in
your case, and that was simply excluding multiple votes from a single IP
address. Huw's ballot hadn't been stuffed by much at all, and it ended up
winning by a hair after excluding the obvious stuffing.
