I might be missing something, but in theory the same problem could still persist with people making multiple accounts and voting for their stories multiple times, right? If that's the case, then I think that would only work with IP checks, however that's not something admins can do and isn't a line that they want to cross anyway.

If I am missing something, then well... I'd be against it in that who chose what is public. I feel that the potential exists for users to try to pressure others into voting for theirs next time or feeling hurt/betrayed when they saw their friends voting on a different pasta (even though that's not what PotM is about). I just think that public voting in this instance would be more negative than positive.

Sorry for picking at what you came up with after you put effort into it, but that's how I feel about it. Thanks for offering up solutions though, it's appreciated!
