Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

That’s a horrifying idea. Secret votes are a core pillar of democracy.
Voting data is stored in such a way that the records are not, in fact, there, while still being auditable - unless the tallying system is compromised in some way.
At least where I live, the ballot does not have identifying information on it. The information on how you voted is there, yes, but not who 'you' is.
Wtf, do you write your names on the ballot in the US?!
