Only real way that I could think of that would maybe possibly work is restrict voting to only users with accounts.
I don't know how possible that would be or if you would be willing to go that far, but that's about the only way I can think of that would do something about this that you could possibly be able to do something about it.

Only with direct database access. The only person who can do that is the site owner, and given how often this happens, he isn't likely to do it. He also doesn't seem to trust the mod team with the ability to manipulate votes.
Besides, even conclusively proving that their actions are futile isn't enough to stop them. We have a tool that will automatically unflag comments we tell it to within 10 minutes of them being flagged. Multiple times users have carried on in a "war of attrition" with this tool for months, even knowing full well that no one on the mod team is even seeing the flags...
They'll just find more proxies and downvote them again. It doesn't actually take them much time to downvote; the time they take seems to suggest they have a pretty quick proxy switcher if not a straight up automated tool for downvoting and switching proxies.
