Letting go of the assumption that every user account's votes should have the same weight would probably go a long way. I'm not saying such a measure is called for right now; I'm just bringing it up to get people used to the idea if things get worse.
I would second that. On the other hand, how would you decide what weight to give to someone's vote? Newcomers vs older members? Low vs high karma? I'm not sure a function of both these variables would be sufficient to determine meaningful voting weights (that is, I'm not sure such a simple mechanism would be able to intelligently steer more karma towards good quality posts even if they were hidden, obscure or too subtle).
