How about making them register with an email address, login name, password, and
record the IP behind the scenes. That won't enforce it 100%, but what will?
Cookies and such, well I have 4 computers at home and 3 more at work, and
clearing cookies is not too difficult. Guess there is no way to have 100%
accuracy unless you contol the machines used for the voting.
