I saw on NewsMax, a clip were Grimes said. Her vote was secret and confidential. We in the USA, do have a secret vote. And do not have to say who the vote was for before or afterword's it is cast. I believe the something. When It comes to my voting their are only two who know what my vote was. GOD and MYSELF knows and I tell no one what it was!! I believe that after voting polls should be outlawed. As it could influence ones who have yet to vote.

Yeah, we have a secret vote alright. We are citizens who vote.

However, we are not running for US senate, ostensibly on the coat tails of the sitting president, our party's leader.

If we were, we might wish to invoke that leader's name, perhaps mention that we supported his philosophy and plans for the past six years, unless of course, we were really wanting to distance our selves from said prez, and did not wish to draw attention to the fact that we are imbeciles and did in fact vote for the failed communist socialist policies of our leader that were primarily designed to destroy the country.

Regards the secrecy of the vote, primarily to prevent repercussions and punishment in case of the wrong vote being cast in places where goons might be standing by, or the IRS.

Regards those who might change their vote based on after voting polls, weak minded persons, probably should not be entrusted with the task of voting.

I see no problem or shame is announcing who you intend to vote for, or who you in fact declare that you did vote for. It is a choice, not mandatory, and certainly not to be looked on with distain.

It simply amuses me to no end that a senator hopeful would not in fact declare whom she supported, especially if it is a yes and no question regards her support for the sitting head of her party.

We had a friend for many years, she has passed now, but her husband never knew who she voted for. She never told who she voted for to anyone.
