How would anyone know? Ballots are always secret, so any trouble you might get in would not be about the way you voted, but the way your coworkers felt when you talked about it. Easy solution: keep your mouth shut. (This is the cultural norm.) Political donations are a matter of public record, so it is possible one could get in trouble over that: Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich famously resigned after controversy around his donation to a campaign opposing gay marriage. But this is a rare situation, since the CEO of a nonprofit is kind of a political figure; it's not something an ordinary employee would worry about. In the 36 states where voter rolls are also public record, some batshit-paranoid executive could theoretically find out which employees didn't vote and give them a hard time about it, but this would be completely unheard-of and possibly illegal. Many US citizens don't bother to vote; nobody cares.
