Except blockchains aren't timestamped, and you can introduce mechanisms to randomize block acceptance.
With a bitcoin transaction you cannot know the order confirmations were requested, just when the transaction was finalized, and there is no correlation between the two in finalized blocks.
Given that such a blockchain would only be active one day (or up to a week) of the year and see ~120m+ transactions in 20 hours or so, there would be no way to predict what transaction any one individuals vote was.

Both to see if there's a way to make them them work within existing election administration laws, rules, and procedures, as well as to see if there's some future perfect system that might work (even if we have to change how we run elections)
