The Founding Fathers would be extremely put off by the idea of a "secret ballot". These brave and bold patriots proudly put their names out there and every man knew how every other man voted. No absentee ballots, no machines, etc Secret ballots weren't used until after the Civil War after Australia started using them. They are completely antithetical to transparency (but understandable as to why they are used -- to avoid voter intimidation or sales.) Of course, it may be that lack of transparency that makes the DOE so fond of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-61627611365914749552011-05-04T21:58:01.740-04:002011-05-04T21:58:01.740-04:00Outstanding article!!
