You didn't explain why you need this feature and its benefits.
I didn't think an explanation was necessary, but ok.
Right now there's no way to quantify your preference. You can
only say you want the bug fixed or you don't. You don't get to
say how badly you want it fixed. Being able allocate more of
your allowance to something allows you to quantify its value.
To
allocate more towards one issue gives you less to allocate
towards other issues.
I didn't get it was in the context of keeping a limited number of
possible votes. I understood the original request was to remove
the cap on votes/person. Those two features are mutually
exclusive.
What coud be also possible is capping a number of
votes/person/month (if the system allws that). That would allow
someone to cast 12 votes/year on a single bug.
Still, I don't like the idea of someone casting several votes on
a bug, unless we also display the number of different voters next
to the total number of votes. Because a bug with 10 votes from 10
different voters is arguably more important than a bug with 10
votes by a single voter.
