Interesting question... You could create two Majordomo-managed lists,
named "issue-yes" and "issue-no" (for whatever "issue" is), make them
both "auto" lists (so that all subscription requests would succeed),
and tell people to use Majordomo to subscribe to the list that
expressed their opinion.
You'd have to worry about people stuffing the ballot box or
registering others, but you have to worry about that even with paper
petitions.
