Maybe you could set a ip-hash so vote only affects if

connecting-voting-disconnecting).
Far, far simpler than that:
* Don't allow unregistered users to rate pages
* When a user rates page, their new rating replaces existing ratings
for that page from that user, allowing people's opinions to change
over time
No sense in fiddling about with all this IP address hashing bollocks
and super-secret hashing when there's no need. I think the idea of
personal information and IP addresses and storage and so forth is
going to people's heads.
