Choosing the top ten for the short list was based on an arbitrary 
number.  If 10th and 11th place are close in votes why not include the 
11th?  If the occasional bit of improper voting happens, it is then 
marginalized.  It would take massive vote fraud to make a difference.  I 
prefer marginalizing the casual cheater to spending enormous energy 
developing elaborate systems to catch them.

As for what to do with the short list (which also includes candidates 
with multiple variants) perhaps they should be first reviewed for 
technical workability.  Some of the high vote getters strike me as very 
complicated designs that may not scale down very well for low-resolution 
situations.
