The only reason to not know who your neighbor voted for is because some people are immature bullies.
If the votes were publicly registered and posted. We could actually verify election results and check out our own names to make sure that our vote counted for our candidate. If the votes are verifiable, the risk of reprisal from the government is obscenely low because you'll actually get the government you voted for.
I'd rather have a fistfight at the polling station than a Malthusian w.e.f.fer running the show... Fucking weffers.
Actually this is true since Democracy is the rule of the mob, whereas we live in a republic governed by the rule of Law, IE. the Constitution. the Mob Wants to know how everyone voted so they will know who to harass.
Yeah, but you don't live in a republic, your vote doesn't actually count.
You guys all present it like you get to vote now. You don't. The contest is fixed...
