I'm all for it, as it gives "instant" gratification, in that everyone could see the vote, rather than waiting until the end of the voting period or until everyone on TB has voted to see the results. If everyone could see who has and has not voted, members would be able to determine if there are TB members who routinely wait until the very end of voting to cast their ballot, either in an attempt to block a measure as long as possible, because they enjoy making everyone wait, or because they want to wait until everyone was able to "have a say" in the comments welcome thread. It would allow those who are passionate about an issue to know when the debate effectively becomes useless.
