I'm curious why everybody voting for as many as they like would intrinsically be a bad thing... being able to vote repeatedly would obviously be cheating, but being able to vote exactly one time for each work that one feels deserves credit would 1) still produce useful results in determining which work is most respected/influential and 2) not skew things at all based on position. It's not as though everybody will vote for all entries.
That would be a way of narrowing the field down to the picks that will fit in a single poll, which could then be done with radio buttons.
I realize the contest is already underway and that it's no time to be talking about changing the arrangements now, so I'll be repeating these comments on any discussion that happens afterwards. I just wanted to put them out there now.
