Wait how can you have both a secret ballot and liquid democracy? It seems like to delegate your vote you would want to know how your delegate voted.

The delegate only needs to know how many votes they have to cast, not who the votes belong to. In fact, they don't even need to know that if another organization has that information. They would just say "I use the votes delegated to me, however many, and by whomever, to vote yes (or no) on X"

But the delegator would want to know how their delegate voted.

It's much better to buy votes from someone who has lots of delegations

Too bad for them? If that's really what people want, then they don't have to have secret ballot, and then they have vote buying. Such are tradeoffs.

Yeah it really is too bad, I'm excited for the potential of liquid democracy, but pretty sad that the most important tool for preventing vote buying is seriously limited in liquid democracy.

But we just establisged it's not.

Could you elaborate?

My understanding is either you know how your delegate voted and vote buying is likely a large problem or you don't know how you delegate voted so it's hard to impossible to actually trust that you've delegated as you intended to.
