If you have 3 votes left, and try to vote for 6 nodes in a thread, only the first three will be accepted - later nodes will get less votes because of this.
Then perhaps the solution isn't to display replies in a random order, but to if it's the case that you don't have enough votes left to cover what you want to vote for, that the votes are accepted randomly. Either that, or a message pops up saying "you tried to vote for too many. choose which you think are more important."

Be your own disciple, fan the sparks of will
For all of us waiting, your kingdom will come
