Being able to vote anonymously and without regard for being shamed by your neighbours is a feature, not a bug, and one of the last protections against democracy being hijacked by intimidation and mass groupthink.

Can you think of any situations in which non-secret ballots might cause undesirable effects?

> I am completely fine admitting voting for Biden, why he isn't my favorite and who I would prefer. I feel zero shame, you shouldn't either.

There are a lot of communities where you wouldn't be completely fine admitting you vote for Biden. Being allowed to vote for Biden anyway is a good thing, being forced to vote on what your peers voted in is bad.

Yeah, and good people have nothing to hide! Isn’t that right Alexa?
