Each vote record is tied to your account and therefore if you have access to that data, you know who has voted for what. Staffers probably have direct access to this but even lowly moderators can see patterns and per-user trends (we can see if you're voting for or against a user to help stop sockpuppets or abusive downvoting). I can't think of a way this sort of tool could be made to work effectively on unauthenticated voting. | |

I'm not saying that's something we should aim for, just that's how you'd do it. It obviously has deeper ramifications for abuse. | |
