There has to be a better way of stopping people from upvoting with alt accounts, or emailing a listserve asking for upvotes.

One way would be to make sure the article generates good discussion. There are no comments on this article other than complaints that it's on the front page...

(Genuine Question) Is an article only considered good if it generates a large discussion?

What about if people read it, found it thought provoking, but didn't have anything to add, to discuss?

I agree. I thought this was a great article and don't have much to add. Is there any evidence there is vote rigging in action here.

Same. I upvote all the time but rarely comment.
