I don't think voting for president is a parallel example. It even reads different: "voting for president". You're electing a person to trust to make future decisions that favor you.

This is voting on a node. The author of the node should not be a factor in the posting. This is punishing a node simply because it shares authorship with other nodes that you may or may not have liked.

That's what I'm trying to get rid of. Let nodes stand on their own. Vote the node, not the poster.
