This is interesting. I love Stack Overflow and sometimes it gets a bad rap. But if a question isn't well received, the site itself isn't always great at providing useful feedback. Maybe people will be able to help each other here in a way they can't do with comments on a question directly on the Stack Overflow site.
One potential caution: This site is super-friendly and people like to put hearts and unicorns on stuff. I like that. But if people extend that niceness by opening linked questions and answers and upvoting them because it seems friendly, weird stuff could happen. I don't know what weird stuff. But it could happen.

I would think that Stack Overflow is pretty hardened in its ability to deal with vote manipulation in general. I'd guess that this couldn't have too radical an impact on the system there unless they allowed it to happen.
