Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.
What it definitely does is prevent you from verifying vote results and specific votes. While people selling votes will (in our day) just make a photo and send it to their buyer.
If by “other things” you mean violence against those voting “wrong” - yes, that’s a problem. When you invent a way to have a verified anonymous vote, let me know.
Boy oh boy, it sure is a mystery why democracies have people vote privately
The only thing worse than public voting is public voting that’s falsely advertised as private.
Its already not private
You only get to vote privately because the system can still verify that each person only gets to vote once.
There is no such mechanism on the internet. Anyone can make multiple accounts and vote multiple times.
To allow easier falsifications.
No, it’s to prevent people from buying/selling votes, amount other things.

No, that’s entirely wrong.
My comment is a specific application, and your comment is “no u wrong”.
Yeah. For major things. For trivial stuff like choosing lunch place people usually do public voting.
Wrong comparison. in state votes it’s done to prevent bribing here you can share your activity and create as many accounts as you want.
