Would there be a difference if we voting slowly, one by one?
If you liquefied every human on earth and poured them all into one cube, it would only be about 800M per side. Humans collectively aren’t that significant.
For comparison all insects would take up a 1km cube.

Per XKCD, nothing significant would happen. Even if all the people were standing in roughly the same area, the Earth would be moved by “less than an atom’s width.” If people were spread out randomly across the Earth, all the forces effectively cancel, and even less happens.

But that’s everyone jumping on land, not into the ocean.

Oh, jumped IN at the same time. I missed an important word there.
