;-) Right.

I think forcing voters to vote for at least 20 logos might
lead to wrong results. If I like only 3 logos I would like
vote for 3 logos only. So if I have to vote for 20 logos I
would spread randomly my other 17 votes over the remaining
logos, which means that I have to vote for logos I don't
like.

I'll do that.

Actually there are not any mails. Currently the voter is
asked to state its email address only.

I store some further information about the voting access
(IP, Browser, Hostname, ..) which may be used to detect
cheating.

Cheers, Uwe
