I think that you want to build in an authentication system first 
(restful_authentication) so that you can reliably identify who the user 
is.  After that it is a simple matter of logging a record in a table 
that identifies that a user has voted on a specific word.  So always 
check beforehand if a user has voted on a word and then disallow 
repeated voting.
People move around and identifying a user using just the IP address 
alone is not sufficient in my opinion.
Hope this helps.

Bharat
