The only way to make it more secure is to make people put in their email
address and then sending them a verification link.  At least now people will
have to use more then 1 email address to vote, and simply clearing cookies
won't work.  But then again most people have multiple email addresses (and
people that own their own domain have unlimited # of email addresses).  But
this will make it harder to cheat...

Thank's for telling me, now I can go delete all your votes!  ;)

By the way, does anybody know of a better way to stop people from doing
what you just did, better than requiring cookies to be enabled and then
setting/checking a cookie?  I've brain stormed this for a long time and
can't think of a good way to do it.  Like most security solutions, my
process keeps the lazy people from cheating, but it's possible to get
around it.
