How one votes should be as private or as public as the voter wants it to be. The poll workers are known to tell people how each person voted, as if it is any of their business. It is worse when they are related to you, because if it becomes known to the rest of the family that you voted in a way that isn't in line with the rest of them, then you have to hear about it at the family dinner on Thanksgiving. It is not a good time.

So, I vote absentee, because it just easier that way. I know my vote will be counted, unlike those people that vote a provisional ballot. I would hate to be one of those people this year.
