Your system makes it straightforward for people to buy and sell votes.
("After the election, bring me your ballot, and if it includes a
vote for X, I'll pay you $Y.") This is normally considered a weakness
in a voting system. Unfortunately, any system that tries to enforce
accountability in the voting system would seem to have this problem.
It would be a great contribution to show that they are compatible.
