  Would that work to obfuscate up/downvotes in general?

    Potentially, but any amount of obfuscation opens up the system to abuse.

    If you trust the server hosting the community to handle all encryption, it’s trivial for the admin to disable.

    If you trust the server sending the vote, then it’s trivial for a server admin to game the system and send hundreds of votes.
