“Your voting record is public… Your neighbors are watching and will know

Fucking NO. This is not acceptable. This isn’t advertising, it isn’t campaigning, it’s un-American intimidation.

Super late edit: anti-American -> un-American
- Is it true, though, the voting record being public?
  
  Yes. The fact that you vote or not, is a matter of public record. How you vote is not a matter of public record.
  
  I hope you’re joking. The privacy of how one votes is foundational. It’s how you feel safe voting against the government in a democracy. The perceived lack of it has been a conservative lying point fighting mail in ballots. This is a worse example. Far worse.
  
  You can see if they voted, not how:

- un-American
  
  Ha! Intimidation is holy grail of the USA. Read up on your history, boy.
This is so fucking funny to me.

Hell yeah theyre going to put it on your PERMANENT RECORD. Jesus.
- Right alongside the entry that shows I threw a paper airplane at Mrs. Fitzgerald in 4th grade? I'm just shaking in my boots, I tell you.
Although this is quite the norm for fashist regimes like the one that the GOP wants to build with Führer Trump.
This reminds me of how in 2004 I was a college student in New Hampshire and I got a pamphlet that had a warning that it was illegal for college students from out-of-state to vote there (which isn't true) on one side and an ad for G. W. Bush on the other.
Wait until Uncle ThOMas rubber stamps this from SCOTUS bench
Why does this poster give me such strong 4chan vibes. It reads like such a meme
Authoritarian cunts know how to turn out their sheep.
