Comment on What Americans lost when we abandoned the secret ballotparent

Comments

It's not really hyperbolic at all. Secrecy is now only preserved if the people handling the votes choose to preserve it. That's a big deal. Even if today they choose to preserve your ballot's secrecy, there is nothing now stopping them from violating that (and the law) in the future. It's important to wonder too how people will react -- do people now act as though they have no secrecy in their ballot?

So, no, this should not have been flagged!
