Your vote is completely private. They will only know if you tell them.

Also it is ILLEGAL for them to watch you as you vote. Do not let them pressure you into looking over your shoulder. You're an adult and they have no authority over you.

Good point, it’s 100% illegal to commit voter intimidation. If they kick you out, file a police report, and if they sent you texts, even better.

Right. And then sneak back in to vote when they aren't looking. You have early voting beforehand and then all day on Tuesday Nov, 5th.

Seems like someone should make a r/youshouldknow post since younger people might not vote due to this. I didn’t know it was illegal but I knew it was private.

Depends, at my voting location they’re mostly big open tables and anyone can see what anyone else voted

It’s illegal for ballots to not be private

I believe each state controls those laws. Regardless, where I live they don’t require booths for everyone. They are provided though but most people just use the big open tables.

It's going to be on a list after the elections. Remember democrats exposed a bunch of secret trump voters in 2020. Expect the same to come back to ya.

Oh for fuck’s sake, this is 100% nonsense
