But this thread was a perfect example.  Someone asked why and it 
derailed into 50 thousand conversations, none of which have anything to 
do with PHP.

So, to bring it back to PHP, what is your preferred method for counting 
votes on the internet when you allow non registered/anonymous users to vote?

1 IP 1 Vote?
1 Vote = 1 Cookie so you can't vote again?
Collect and confirm email address to vote?
Create a browser/ip/cookie thumbprint of the voter and assign metrics to 
determine "same person" to avoid duplicate votes?
