Voting System vote interaction

One of the design parts of the voting system that is likely to make a serious difference to useage is the interaction of the preference ordering. It is only a little thing but one that I think I must get right. I spent quite a while getting the interaction like this:

I think the dragging is more proactive than just checkboxes or radio buttons. Also the dragging makes clear that you can/need to select more than one answer. The system also allows you to not have preference for something.

I also started on the results section. I think that the data from all the votes should be openly available in the same place that the votes take place. Either each round of voting or the stacked bar chart from the final two options should be shown. This will be a technical matter I suppose, if the data is exported on each round in a format that is sensible. Anyhow I started having a go at using some graphing APIs; you can see my results here [it is a bit slow tho]
