Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

No, it's to prevent people from buying/selling votes, amount other things.

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.
