Thats a problem. I can send 250 emails from registered gnoem subscribers
I know wont bother to vote. Nobody else can see that I did this or
someone voted as them.

Thats soluble and I support the change, just the semantics need to be
correct so you cant have either votes from people who didnt vote or have
people "manufactured". That means sending the keys privately to users
and requiring/validating them to vote
