1. It's been that way in NC for years

Just enter name and year of birth and your voting history is revealed. Obviously they don’t know how you voted.

[AlexSFCA]

2. will they reveal party affiliation too? that can be dangerous

[Abnredleg]

4. Party affiliation is public record

Hasn’t been an issue

[applegrove]

3. Terrifying. They can force liberal voters into an underemployed

underclass.

6. In Illinois it's already public record

They could tell which party you are by what primary you vote in

[applegrove]

7. That's awful.

[questionseverything]

9. Every campaign uses the info to reach out to voters

I live downstate and work for conservatives but it’s not like they have threatened me over my public voting record

[applegrove]

10. They are just getting going with autocracy and corruption. Remember

the area Russian dominated in Ukraine they took all the wealth from and had the Ukrainians as an underclass. Why would you assume the GOP wants less than that.

11. Voting has to be open and transparent

Sunlight is the best disinfectant

[applegrove]

13. Not when it can be used to impoverish one kind of voter over another. Have you not

noticed them impoverishment public schools vs. ones that cater to the right wing.

[questionseverything]

15. If a person was afraid of someone knowing they voted in the democratic primary

They could always say they did it just to promote the weakest candidate

Or not vote in the primary

No one can tell who you vote for in regular elections

I don’t understand your worry

They impoverish us with lines that are hours long, that’s what we need to change is access

[Hoyt]

5. Even New York makes name, address, and Party affiliation public. Think guy is wrong on the marked

ballot being made pulic.

Most states allow names, etc., although it is supposed to be for political party use.

[questionseverything]

8. Marked ballots can be reviewed but not in connection with the voter's name

N/t

12. Thanks!

14. Also in PA these records have always been public. It's not a record of how you voted,

but name, address, party affiliation and if you voted in any given election. These records are used by both parties to get out their most likely voters.

This outraged commentator is apparently not familiar with election procedures.

16. it has been the case in most states.

In Virginia for example your party affiliation (determined from which primary you voted in) and your voting record (when you voted) is public. Obviously it does not say whom you voted for, they cant know that but it says when you voted and in which primaries.
Donations are also public (its true in every state). you can look it up on FEC website and check if you neighbor donated to Trump.
