I see nothing wrong with knowing who did and didn't vote based on a |

public membership list/roster. Now knowing their actual vote is a |

I will have to double check, but I am pretty sure knowing who did and |
14 |
didn't vote of registered voters, is quite common in any election. Part |

of public records, openness and accuracy of election, so on. |
