when the election takes place directly, where the voters get their address, then this is removed - or has the same impact, which is in the old system, where it is also possible buy the vote from somebody upfront.
In 'normal' elections the voter cannot prove to the buyer of the vote that they actually voted for what the buyer wanted.
However with the bitcoin system they can prove it, because of the public blockchain transaction.
