minus-squareheeplr@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months ago Secret ballot is not a prerequisite for a democratic process. What? Of course it is. Hence: “The secret ballot became commonplace for individual citizens in liberal democracies worldwide by the late 20th century.”. The UK has numbered ballots secret != anonymous … OPs argument mainly dismissed confidentiality. But we don’t claim their voting process is undemocratic. we certainly would if no one checked the number of people simultaniously using a voting booth. I never assumed this. Sorry, didn’t mean to imply that. I meant OPs argument.
