If all that was visible were the various vote tallies and numerous
voters were casting their ballots simultaneously, how would they know
for sure?

Um...maybe I'm missing something.

If votes are cast simultaneously (or nearly so), how does a voter know that
the change in the tally represents his vote? Or that the change in the
tally of a different candidate does NOT represent his vote?

Non-simultaneous voting has the entirely different problem already pointed
out.

There is of course the issue regarding vote tallys being known to voters
prior to the closing of the polls, a big no-no in practically every US
election I'm aware of.

Granted, there are some issues with my scenario.

Indeed.
