@InspectorCaracal @stolas@elekk.xyz @lightone yep
there are many, many good reasons it's a secret ballot
@troubleMoney @stolas Buying votes is, I think, possible now? Not even talking of "dark schemes". I've heard of certain parties giving (very small sums of) money to elderly people before voting for their candicate.
@lightone @stolas@elekk.xyz yes, but that can't be verified
soon as you make votes public that strategy gets far more effective
@lightone @troubleMoney @stolas I've seen a proposal for anonymously voting politicians.
No civilian sees their votes (they don't have the time), but their vote is proof of services delivered to lobbyists.

@troubleMoney@computerfairi.es @stolas@elekk.xyz @lightone@mastodon.xyz or "if you don't vote for X well then I'm not saying that you'll be fired but there's a high chance we'll realize you're unsuited for your current employment position for completely unrelated reasons"
