To make industrial ballot-stuffing visible
on a website, display the
incidence of votes over time, rather than
just the outcome. I wish sites like the
IMDB did this; it might also show interesting
trends in opinion, e.g., of first-weekend-moviegoers
vs. movie renters vs. the pre-screening audience.

BUT, what about the well known phenomenon of people responding according to how others are behaving? Have you never convinced a roomful of people that white is black? |

Only let you see the votes after
you've cast your own. |

Regardless of whether you can infer ballot-stuffing, I think the extra data would be interesting. |
