Thanks, Phoebe. That seems awfully low, and makes sockpuppetry a lot easier, particularly given that people's multiple accounts are being invited to vote.
Well, the SecurePoll extension has multiple measures built-in that allow for easy sock detection. It captures some data in addition to the username that would help eliminate those votes.
On a side note: would a simple check for duplicate emails be possible? I received an email for my main and my alt account, which are registered with the exact same email address. I'm not sure how the system would decide which account gets the email (Perhaps highest edit count?), but I'm sure someone could figure out something. :-)
