(10,252 posts)It violates your right to a secret ballot. No one should know how you voted, unless you tell them. We have secret ballot voting, so you can't be harassed and/or persecuted for how you vote.
...and the fact the administration intends to use the data to purge or disqualify voters.
The intimidation factor you outlined can't be overstated. Already reports of voters pulling their registrations to avoid exposure.

This anti-American buttwipe BRAGS That he is the "ACLU's worst nightmare". Since the ACLU defends civil liberties and the constitution this means that this scum is our Constitution's worst nightmare.
