I was wondering if you were scared to vote because of retalliation. If you are a die-hard Democrat, are you concerned that during a Republican administration, someone with power could order the voter records (public info) and maybe do things to you to prevent you from voting in a future elections, like have the IRS audit you because you are a Democrat, or do things that may take away yor ability to vote? What if you wrote a letter to your Congressman, would he was Democrat, would he give you the attention you deserved if you normally vote republican? I just used the Republican and Democrat not intending to make either one sound like the bad guy.

I am not scared to vote but sometimes it does cross my mind about retaliation because I am a registered democrat in a very Republican southern state.

That's the thing about the secret ballot. It's secret. That's why I always thought it was ridiculous to pay people to vote for you. You never know what they are going to do when they get into the ballot box. I could sit here and scream all day about my party and then go vote for somebody else.

Absolutely not. Too many people worked too hard for me to have that freedom.

no i'm not. but i am sad that my vote won't mean a thing, thanks to the electoral college and the centralized nature of our political system.
