Here is an attempt from a famous computer scientist whose algorithms book most of us have read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThreeBallot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThreeBallot (This one turned out to be cumbersome to implement because of bad UX, but worked rather well.)

You can potentially reverse an entire election and do it again, but you can’t reverse one vote. I’m sure there are solutions. My point isn’t that it’s impossoble, it’s that banking and voting are so different that the existence of solutions for one tells us nothing at all about the other.
