    If people's votes were a matter of public record (Normal People not Politicians)

    How much influence and different would our elections be?
    Do you think it would drastically affect our country? If so. . . How drastic?

    I thought it was public record in some places.

    probably whichever side was more violent and had public backing would win out.

    No moderate would ever vote. Extremism would reign supreme.

    There would be less of ‘I didn’t vote for him’

    I don’t think it would change much overall, but we would probably need protection against voters abuse by both the state and individuals

    They provide information about whether an individual has voted, but not who they voted for I believe.
