Is there a weighting to how points are assigned?

Can this be adjusted? It'd be cool if I could say that the #1 votes get 2X the points as the #2 votes.

Not yet, although that is something we've heard from at least 1 other person who uses a similar system (that they manually do in Excel)
This will be especially helpful if I want a certain outcome (tweak weightings, recompile, rinse, repeat).. :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_system is a great read. We're basically doing a Borda count.

Keme­ny-Young technique as an upgrade feature? :)
