Nothing. This isn't about Debian specifically, it's about voting in
general. There will *always* be people who will consider this kind of
thing when they vote, and they should not be compromising their vote in
the off chance that someone *might* be offended by their it if they vote
the way they really want to. It's about safeguarding the integrity of
individual votes, and the voting system in general.
Personally, I think that's a good enough reason to make *all* votes in
Debian be secret, but, well -- I don't expect that to happen anytime
soon.
