That means my real vote might not get counted, thanks to the random deadline.

But that only happens when for some contrived, malicious reason you felt pressure to cast a vote that did not reflect your real opinion. The random deadline extension weakens that attack.

People free from interference would simply make their first vote their real one, cast safely before the earliest possible deadline.
