When a user has admin on, they can see the list of users who upvoted or downvoted a comment in the tooltip (which currently shows % positive).
All karma calculations use a ‘weight’ variable that’s stored per user, and can be adjusted at the userpage by a user with admin on.
That means shutting down sockpuppets is two clicks, and discovering them is a mouseover. The main uncertainty is how the weight variable will impact the performance of the site.
The “weight” only needs values 0 and 1. And the value 0 can be achieved by disabling the buttons (which has negligible impact on performance) and removing the existing votes (which only happens one per user).
