When I first proposed WinVote to the IRTC, there was a fair amount of concern
that it would be possible to vote by just viewing the thumbnails.  Also some
were against the ability to sort.  This is why you must first vote on all the
images while viewing them full size, before all of the functions of the program
are turned on.  Some voters feel that each image should be voted on by its own
merits and not compared to the others.  Therefore you should not sort.  I find
this impossible to do.  I use the sort functions to maintain my consistency and
fairness.

Now, about your problem with two voters using WinVote on one computer.
This is easy, because WinVote does not use the registry.

For the second voter, create a second Winvote folder and copy all the files from
the original directory.  This includes winvote.exe, winvote.hlp and the rest of
the support files.  Then create a second "Work Dir" for the second voter.  The
two voters can share the thumbnail and image folders.

Then make sure the shortcut for the second voter has its "start in" folder set
where his copy of winvote.exe lives.

Well I guess I got a little wordy.
I hope  this helps,
