2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Sanders and Clinton supporters, will you vote for whomever [View all]artislife
(9,497 posts)90. No I don't

Privacy and secrecy. Practically every state has laws protecting voter privacy and secrecy of ballots. The idea is over 1,000 years old and comes from times when threats and violence were how votes were gained.

Likewise, under the Voting Rights Act, its illegal for anyone to bully you or use force or threats of force to influence your vote. Unfortunately, voter intimidation makes the news quite often.
