Thus, they will always know if they are the lone dissenter. If they weren't, they would not be able to (within the rules) adjust the state to show unanimity. | |

Then the first person would just get back some randomly large negative number after the second go-around, revealing no information regardless of anyone's choice | |
| Dec 27, 2022 at 18:36 | comment | added | 2012rcampion | I was thinking of a very similar scheme while coming up with my answer. I think this has the same problem in that the person who compares the final result to the initial number will be able to determine the exact number of votes. | |
