Is it possible? yes - People can do and do do all kinds of
things - the real question is how is the website voting set up
behind the scenes - the website might set cookies or record ip
addresses of those voting to try and prevent such things from
happening or to flag admin if it looks like abuse is occurring
from a certain ip - While I try to be smart about protecting
myself from phishing etc, I also don't let some vague fear of
what others might do keep me from doing what I think is good
to do.
