In the worst case it generates symbolism; that is ultimately what you’re saying.

That symbolism is akin to prayer.

I am not casting prayer in a negative light, I’m simply categorising your voting concept.

Visibly praying in public would be symbolic. Prayer is not symbolic; it's thought.

I'm talking about external signaling.

In the worst case the true count is never revealed and the vote is coopted.
