    Up until the 1880s pretty much all Americans ballots weren’t private. Some states still technically aren’t private.

      America isn’t a true democracy anyway with its Gerrymandering, two party system, and registration to vote.

        Voting registration isn’t anti-democratic if it’s very easy, like it is here in Australia. It’s done online (and other methods) and very painless. If you don’t move, you never need to update your registration.

          And in actual democracies you’re registered automatically when turning voting age (usually 18) and gets updates automatically when moving. Obviously, when you have a monarch, you’re not living in a true democracy.
