A brief summary because I had to re-read this a few times to figure out what was going on.

Debian had a vote with 4 options:

Option 1 "Hide identities of Developers casting a particular vote"

Option 2 "Hide identities of Developers casting a particular vote and allow verification"

Option 3 "Reaffirm public voting"

Option 4 "None of the above" (NOTA)

The objection raised here is that Option 3 and Option 4 can be considered to be the same depending on how you interpret them (ie; "None of the above" vs "Keep public ballots" which can be said to implicitly suggest none of the above at the same time). If those two were represented as a single "NOTA" option, that option would have won the ballot in terms of votes.
