Secrecy is necessary for real world votes, but here we canafford some openness. It's the wiki way.
One reason secrecy is important in real world political voting is the possibility of backlash against those who vote on the losing side. That's not really possible here. The winners can't round up the losers into concentration camps.
It depends... What about the next vote being to ban the losers from all Wikipedias except the Russian one?
