I don't see how this analogy applies. The problem that is being solved is keeping proper balance between good comments and average comments. Average comments must weight down, as otherwise there isn't enough feedback, but they mustn't weight so much as to hurt normal discussion. This can't be solved with extremes within the current system.
The analogy breaks because, generally speaking, voting for a candidate in an election is mutually exclusive. You only get to pick one. It does not matter what the weight of the pick is because everyone has to pick with the same weight.
Here, you can choose as many comments as you want and choose different weights for each pick.
