Isn't my vote supposed to be confidential?
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - (KRT) - Robert Lanza thought voters' ballots were supposed to be secret, which is why he was surprised to see a little "G" next to his name on his absentee ballot return address - for Green Party.
"Anybody handling my absentee ballot can look at my envelope and tell what my political affiliation is," Lanza said.
Lanza and other election watchers say the party tags invite fraud because a ballot handler who disagrees with a voter's party choice could simply throw out his or her ballot. Maryland State Board of Elections officials maintain there is no cause for concern, but they have also said they might discontinue the practice in future elections. http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercu...0021985.htm?1c
Yeah so they'll continue the practice after this election.... how convenient!
