Let's say there was a system implemented in which after a vote you could have some election officials come to your home with a device that would let you confirm the vote tallied in official number is what you intended. Assume this system is effective and it keeps your vote and your identity as a person detached. Imagine it uses a checksum of a ballot ID and your vote to do the verification... Also, assume these can only be checked using special devices in these specific situations. Your iphone cannot do it. Now, let's also assume there is a rule that if a certain threshold of test ballots come back as not matching, this would cause the election results to be thrown out and for a new election to be held. If you knew or had a good reason to believe your candidate wasn't going to win, would you purposefully make it so the audit on your ballot would fail, and thus contribute toward forcing a new election to be held?
