I don't think that's very salient. You could raise analogous objections for Internet-based voting weaknesses, or most information leaks in general.

Only if the Internet-voting based system is very carefully designed. It's rather difficult to verify that your vote was counting in a way that doesn't also prove who you voted for.

There are some papers describing systems to do this that seems like they could work. But they're pretty complex.
