5. Your VOTE is recorded for key races.

It may not record WHO you voted for. But it records the PARTY you voted for, for key races. Main reason being, someone reading that info later wouldn't necessarily know who Jim Smith was, and it would also require a lot of editing to electronically sort the data, if it had names you voted for instead of party.

I remember once looking online at my precinct, to see how my precinct voted. There was the precinct voting record in chart form, for general viewing. Every person's name and who s/he voted for. Other info, too, I guess, but I don't remember. I imagine it was a printout of the electronic voting machines. This can be used, I suppose, for confirming votes.

I am now in La. Louisiana keeps, and sells, Parish, Name, Ward, Precinct, Party, Residence & Mailing Addresses, Sex, Race, Age, Status, Registration Date, Registration #, Last 20 Dates Voted, & District information, phone numbers.
