The most common example I can think of is when I google something like "best anrdoid apps for telling the weather" and I get a million hits from articles that are just copied and pasted from each other.
Edit: An example of where this would be useful is something that google can't objectively decide on. For example if I type in "Greg's Plumbing in Liverpool, England" there will most likely be only one website that should rightfully reach the top result in that situation. On the other hand if I type in something like "Cool PC Games" google has no way of knowing which games people like or don't. Instead the websites which inevitably get to the top are articles which use SEO. Search engine optomization is when people use specific keywords which are designed to make google like that article over articles that don't use SEO. Countless hundreds of website make short four or five paragraph articles like this to generate ad revenue. The articles have very little real value, and you have to go through alot of them to find anything meaningful. Voting would ensure that only the best most insightful and well written ones ended up in the top.
Edit 2: If this guy is correct, google has already solved this with their bounce feature: http://ift.tt/1GShB2D
