Your printer will betray you by printing invisible identifying dots on your ballot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Identification_Code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Identification_Code
- swebs 7y agoHow would that betray you? They're supposed to verify that this ballot belongs to you in the first place.
- deogeo 7y agoI'm confused - wouldn't that mean the vote isn't secret?
- swebs 7y agoIt won't go on record who you voted for, but someone at the office will have to confirm that you voted and enter in the vote. If mail-in ballots were completely anonymous, then someone could just print 10,000 copies and stuff the polls.
- deogeo 7y agoI thought we were talking about non-mail-in ballots, that you print at home, but submit personally.
