I'm against it. I'd have to see a cogent argument in favor, which Jon hasn't supplied. Unless bribery or threats are involved, I don't see the issue where influence could be seen as unfair.

On the other hand, I'd like to think that an open vote encourages people to vote for a book they'd be willing to read, as opposed to just the one(s) they'd like most. Voting isn't the problem right now as many are willing to vote; it's participation.

And I have to add that it's easy to lob around the words fair and unfair, but you've got to back them up. "I don't like it" isn't sufficient for "unfair."
