I suspect that while the polls may be flatter, the outcome won't be affected materially. There will be no way to know, however.
I don't think the two aspects have been addressed. Voters can be hidden (although I think that's less interesting), but there's still no mechanism for hiding the votes unless I missed something. Tom doesn't want to nor should he be expected to tally votes privately.
In the end, an entirely hidden vote sounds like a lot more effort to me and the fun of it doesn't seem worth the nuisance, nor will it prove anything. IMO, of course.
My suggestion would be to have a poll to see if people really want the voters hidden and take it from there.
