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.

       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.
