    I’m coming from an oppressive dictatorship that kills people for disagreeing with them. One thing to enables them to is voter anonymity. An oppressive MAGA husband example is cute, ofc, but I wasn’t solving “how do we make people vote with there heart is”, this is kinda out of scope and definitely not crucial for a functional democracy, but wishlist-grade at best.

    Now, voter bribery is a good one. Never thought of that and can see how this could be a much more sizeable problem.

      Ok but how would a lack of voter secrecy prevent the government from killing people who voted “wrong”?

      To me that just seems like it would make it easier.

      I am a Swede and have luckily never had to think about these things, if I am being arrogant with my staunch support of voter secrecy, I want to know.
