Seems obvious that if people are willing to go to great lengths to cheat, they'll probably figure out a way to circumvent whatever voting system's in place. Instead of insisting that the voting process has to be 100% bulletproof, it might be more practical to do what you can to limit clone accounts and limit voting to members of at least a week's standing--most likely these two steps alone would eliminate a high percentage of potential clone votes (also, you might consider making clone voting a specific, no-tolerance TOS violation; might slow people down a little). Or, forget the notion of community-selection altogether and just hand the damn thing out to whoever paints the best hair. The way it is now doesn't make any sense at all--it's just a wave in the direction of member participation.
