The big question touching a nerve this election: "Can my husband find out who I am voting for?"
November may come down to a battle between controlling men and women who just want their freedom
Can my husband find out who I am voting for in the Presidential Election?"
Olivia Dreizen Howell, the founder of a website to help women get back on their feet after a breakup or divorce, tweeted last week, "We've been getting this question a lot," so she followed up with some facts. As the Washington Post confirmed with experts, the answer is simple: "No; it will be public record that you voted, but not how you filled out your ballot."
The GOP ticket is led by a sexual predator who a jury found "'raped' [journalist E. Jean Carroll] as many people commonly understand the word 'rape,'" the judge in the case wrote. His running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, has called for a national abortion ban, wrote the forward to a book that denounced contraception for making pregnancy "seem like an optional and not natural result of having sex," and repeatedly called women who haven't given birth "sociopathic" and "childless cat ladies."
Meanwhile, the Democratic ticket is led by a woman who chose "Freedom" by Beyoncé as her campaign song, and has dispensed with the mealy-mouthed language about abortion rights to declare she stands for "the freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body." Her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, her running mate, has decried "weird" MAGA Republicans of the "he-man woman haters’ club."

How is this a big question? Isn’t this common knowledge, one of the first things you learn about voting?
learn about voting
these are fox news households were talkin about.. they want less voting, not more
Voting is not something we do everyday or for most people even every year. Sometimes Democrat and Republican primaries are held in different rooms or at different locations, So if this is your first time or that's all you know, it's a real question.
The polling places in some rural municipalities are literally Masonic lodges where they make you announce out loud to all in attendance which primary you want to vote in.
Wait. There are places where your primary party is not public knowledge when you vote? Fuuuck. (it's usually a fire hall, not a lodge in my experience.)
My parents still vote at a fucking gun club.
I'll fully admit to being completely ignorant about voting the first time I did it. I was politically disengaged for moody teenager reasons, but my parents forced me to go to the polling station anyway. I didn't care to vote for any of the candidates, but was also worried that I would get in trouble if I spoiled my ballot because I hadn't paid attention in civics (again, for moody teenager reasons).
They definitely made a big deal about it when I was in elementary school.
