The idea was originally mine, it's intended to allow people to vote the way they intend to vote, instead of being pursuaded by a trend. Example: should a player dislike a player and discover he is winning he'd be even less inclined to vote for that player. Or should a player be stuck between two cadidates, he would pick his vote based on who has more to allow that person a win. I felt that such mainstreaming was undemocratic, and have no complaint with a secret vote.
