Isn't this a great example why it's bad that this data is open.

In Mexico, perhaps volunteers are dropping by to drive voters to/from the polls. With guns.

That's way too messy when you can just threaten the poll workers with guns and stuff the ballot boxes. Or better yet, just be the poll workers yourself and skip the guns entirely.

Why? You registered with a party and the local board of elections - the party will know if you've voted, as does the BoE.

Ditch the party system, and maybe it gets better - I think it would.
