Some work has already been done to support the idea expressed in (tye)Re: Node Tension. But quite a bit more work needs to be done so don't hold your breath. Prior to these changes, the database didn't even have a place to keep track of votes. Now it has a place but it still doesn't keep track (so we'd have to add code to start tracking and then run a really long job to update this field based on all of the votes ever cast so far). Since ar0n has fallen off the face of the Earth and I've got both new responsibilities at "work" and a huge new personal project, very little is being done to maintain the site. I keep trying to get others more involved but that isn't easy (for me or for them), so it is happening, just slowly.

And the display would be more like everything2 does, listing the rep and then optionally listing the total number of votes cast.
