"What I want to know is how this information is available when looking at the ballots and making decisions. I thought we had "secret" ballots in this country."

Race could be inferred by the ethnic composition of the precinct.

Democrat vs Republican could be determined with accuracy by the voting pattern in other races.

In other words, there would be sufficient data available to support the assertions made by Lott and Glassman.

I don't know about FL. In CA, the ballots are (by colour too?) coded by party. It wouldn't be hard to know what the series of ballot serial numbers were that corresponded to GOP registered voters and other parties if the same happens in FL.

Mix in demographic data for precincts and a thorough statistical analysis can reveal the types of information they claim in the article.
