The privacy and sanctity of the voting booth, or the mail-in ballot, affords Americans the last chance to follow one’s conscience
— the ultimate guardrail
— after months of sometimes vile campaigning and tremendous pressures.
On Monday, Liz Cheney, the conservative daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney mentioned that last guardrail during a townhall meeting in Michigan. yesterday.
Predicting that “millions” of moderate Republicans who are too afraid to go against Trump publicly will vote for Harris on November 5th, she reminded voters,
“…if you’re at all concerned, you can vote your conscience and not ever have to say a word to anybody.
And there will be millions of Republicans who do that on November 5th, vote for Vice President Harris.”
The right to the privacy of voting and the secrecy of your vote is a cornerstone of our democracy.
As Liz Cheney implies, no one will know how you voted.
