Hypothetical: Public Voting

I thought it was public record in some places.

 

probably whichever side was more violent and had public backing would win out.

 

No moderate would ever vote. Extremism would reign supreme.

 

It is in Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, DC, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Others may also provide, but it isn't quite clear if they do or not.

There would be less of ‘I didn’t vote for him’

I don’t think it would change much overall, but we would probably need protection against voters abuse by both the state and individuals

 

They provide information about whether an individual has voted, but not who they voted for I believe.

 

more interesting is the inverse, a secret ballot for legislators
