Great comment. Without privacy for verification the election is open for vote buying which I think is the biggest flaw with the proposed system.

I also like the idea of using 2 paper receipts which I think is easy for people to understand.

It's not just vote buying, it's pressuring. If you don't want your employees to unionize, insist they vote for right-to-work laws. You don't have to insist very openly. Just take them out to drinks and mention the election in passing, see who voluntarily shows you their receipt on their phone, and prioritize them for bonuses and promotions.
