I see.  Right now a person can submit multiple votes from a single IP.
A not very effective solution would be to place a cookie on the
client's PC after which they voted once for a specific week they
couldn't vote again.

Another problem with the cookie solution is that some people don't accept
cookies.

In fact, when I compared Huw's site against your site last week, the
ballot had been stuffed by 2x in your case...

Todd, will you allow people to vote for more than one site in the future?
I sometimes do, but I've never tryed to stuff the ballot.  (If you will,
then the cookie solution is shot down again (sorry, Dan))

(...) I think people should be able to give fractional votes: You get 1.0 "voting points" to spread out however you want among the sites. You might give 30% to one and 70% to another, for example. --Todd (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) The voting facility is a suggestion facility. 9 times out of 10, what gets the most votes is what gets used as that week's pick. Sometimes there are exceptions, like when Bram's LDraw & LEdit tutorial went up as the weekly pick last year (...) (25 years ago, 19-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
