The easiest way to stop most multiple votes is to send them a Cookie when
you get their vote.
If they have that Cookie, they can't vote again.
That won't stop a semi-serious cheater -- He'll just not accept the Cookie
or delete it after he gets it or...
If you need better than this minimal "honesty" factor, it gets tricky...
And *NOTHING* online (via HTTP, anyway) can be anywhere close to a reliable
voting method. Even Florida had it better. :-)
