      You don’t live in a democracy, do you? One of the main points in an free election is that the vote is private with no way to trace it back to whoever cast it.

        Up until the 1880s pretty much all Americans ballots weren’t private. Some states still technically aren’t private.

          America isn’t a true democracy anyway with its Gerrymandering, two party system, and registration to vote.
