A lot. A whole lot.
That said, I don't think we should limit this. If the program committee is comfortable with weeding the second (third, fourth!) elected proposals out in favor of the next most popular presentations, I don't see the problem.
FWIW, we have done this since the very first conference (Casey Durfee, I think, had two proposals voted in and we asked him to choose one and let the next highest vote getter in).
