Yes, but this doesn't scale, and again, it's bordering on illegal captivity. One person can maybe prohibit a couple of others into not going to vote in person, by living with them.
Whereas if you have paper receipts that show what you voted for, one person can easily validate thousands of those, and punch everyone in the face who voted "wrong".
- akvadrako 6y agoIt does scale of course. The one example you mention is couples. Perhaps men prefer one candidate over women and pressure their wives to vote a certain way. How is that not scaling? Another example is unions. Perhaps the union and many colleagues prefer one candidate - if you sneak off to the voting booth you risk ostracization.
