Without something like facebook or twitter login, the system will be abused. There is no stopping someone who just reloads ( or even make an automated script heh ) and keeps on choosing, resulting in flawed data. Just saying.



Totally agreed. I'm relying on people not caring enough to abuse it — a bit risky, I know. I just wanted something simple that wouldn't require people to jump through hoops just to vote. Also, the IPs are now one of the metrics, for regional breakdown, so that could be used to spot obvious anomalies.
