Jim,
It's always essentially going to be random in that even if every song was judged 100% the same number of times, it wouldn't be by the same actual humans. And there's no way around that. When you allow open voting, the only way you could control it is to force everyone to vote on every combination and most folks wouldn't do it that long or if forced wouldn't really try very hard. I think the best way for this to become more and more fair is for their judging numbers to keep climbing... more often than not even the millions who vote on American Idol get it pretty close to right (though I sometimes disagree based on actual talent, it's unusual for them to be way way way off on the bottom 3 for example).
I think they will continue to improve thing. The great news is that it's free to enter, you can use it as a quick gauge to which of your songs are more popular (since you can enter more than one) and as it stands now, you can enter the same song again if you want (though if I were running it, I wouldn't allow that.. but that's just my opinion...).
