If I understand correctly they already can. It's not user-facing, but votes are federated if I understand correctly.
Yes, that is why I am arguing in favor of an additional layer of pseudonymous voting.
Incorporating that in a way that doesn't allow for vote manipulation by just lying to a server that different "anonymous" users have up or down voted a post sounds incredibly difficult, and not worth it for the narrow use case of "prevent my votes from being data mined even though all my comments can."
