Was in the middle of posting the exact same thing when your post came in. Yes, it’s open registration. So even if you make it so only local users can vote… anyone anywhere can instantly make an account here and vote. So there is no reason to enforce this. The reputation thing would just mean that people would have to “farm karma” before their alt can vote and then they just leave the alt sitting for votes. Im not sure you should be doing anything that promotes karma farming…
So if it’s easier to set up the vote with it local only. Do that. If it’s easier to set up by allowing voting for anywhere. Do that. Just do what takes the least effort because at the end of the day there is no way to prevent outside voting.
