| Aug 6, 2020 at 14:12 | comment | added | Phil | @schroeder even without a 1:1 ratio of balls, if I put x black balls in, I can deduce if anyone else voted with me if there are >x black balls. Potentially if a voter in my scheme accurately weighed the salt beforehand and accurately weigh the residue after, they could make a similar deduction, but this could be trivially prevented by a washing the pan before anyone has a chance to weigh it. | |

| Aug 6, 2020 at 11:37 | comment | added | rumtscho | @schroeder with blackball, you can afterwards count how many black balls were cast, which violates the requirements. With this scheme, you can never say how many people put salt in. | |

| Aug 5, 2020 at 7:13 | comment | added | Phil | @Woj I had intended that the glasses be poured into the pan at the same time. Updated to clarify. | |

| Aug 4, 2020 at 15:56 | comment | added | WoJ | The problem is that the current voter (the further they are in the voting line, the better) can check (by sampling the water) if someone has already voted "salt" or not. | |
