You could use the IP and block it from voting again for 2 hours or something. This would allow dynamic people to both vote (should they get the ip), and wouldn't allow one person to load it up very quickly. That combined with email verification, where the vote is only passed if the email is different would sufficiently block off most loadings.... Then again....
