Admins are you even going to help try to stem the issue of vote manipulation, it just seems like you don't really care.

For one I believe it is too easy for someone to make multiple alts to abuse the saidit voting system, being that there's no email verification or at least a way of limiting accounts made by users.

I agree but what's the solution without just creating artificial barriers like emails and phone numbers? I don't want to gather people's data

the only solid ideas I have are one new account per ip address per day, and making registration take longer/be harder.

How does reddit do it?

reddit limits account creation to 1 account/10 minutes per IP address. iirc there are some ways using the public code to get more info about voting for a specific post or comment, but most of the "bad votes" are thrown out automatically by reddit's code
