Fits the KISS principle :-)

An OTT solution would be to send a 'vote' email to each
member with a unique code.

They then reply back to the list and include thier code
in the message.

Upon dispute message headers and codes can be reconciled.
Or software can scan the addresses, codes and flag
any discrepancies.

IMHO this is overkill - but very easy to implement
especially if you have a machine accessible list archive.
