    They can tell who votes. Your entire premise is based on a belief that votes are anonymous. They aren’t. They are pretected from the public. If you have ever worked in election, which I have, you would know that. You have to cross reference if someone voted twice, are alive, or even registered in the county they voted in. There are computers that verify electronic bullets and there are batch audits. No one is ever allowed to be alone even with one ballet. Everything is done in a team. If your partner calls in sick, you’re the third wheel to another team.

    Just because the public doesn’t know doesn’t mean the government doesn’t know.

      Votes are anonymous. You can tell who voted, but not what they voted for. It’s crucial for the fairness of elections that a vote cannot be definitively connected to the individual who cast it; if you could, you could coerce or retaliate.

      And all of the things you mention are the trust OP is talking about. You were a trusted person in that situation. The process increases and validates trust.

      Oh man are you confused. For everyone else this person doesnt know how voting works.

      Voting in the states is 100% anonymous across the board. The data trail stops after a person is signed in at the polls. There is zero information on a ballot to identify you.

            I am not giving you personal information. Especially since you seem like some unhinged troll. I worked in an election. It’s easily proven. How else would they know that 15 Bob Smiths didn’t vote in every adjacent county. And for every issue? How do you think they verify if they are alive? Just magic and pixie dust?

              sigh, child… bless your heart. you have to check into a book, a book that you had to prove who you were and where you live to be entered into. all that records is that you showed up. there is no record of who you voted for, unless of course you’re one of the idiots who walks into the polls in full on trump billboard mode. if you worked polls you would know this or if you had any basic level of critical thinking skills.

              The only indication of your inclinations that are recorded is if you’re registered for a particular party as well.

              Now as for voting in multiple places:

              1. requires multiple residents in multiple locations to pull off.
              2. you need to sign into two books before getting a ballot.

              presto: this dumbass voted in two locations. they don’t need to know who you voted for to know you committed a crime.

              at this point its very clear you’ve never worked a booth or are incredibly handicapped on reasoning ability.
