  It does say, prominently, “Who you vote for is secret.”

    That screams cya. Everything else implies they see you. I received an email by them once that at the end had the sleeping with the fishes capiche line. Literally with no context/reason beyond making it sound like a threat.

      I got one that sounded even more threatening. Said your voting record is public, which is sketchy as fuck and implies who you vote for is public as well, but skirts actually saying it. It does, however, not explicitly say who you for for is secret either.

      Casual Ohio voter suppression, nbd.

  Are they? It literally points out “Who you voted for is secret” on the ad, right above where it says that people will know if you voted.

    While true, I have been scratching my head wondering why this rash of ads is happening, why they are so intent on making sure everyone knows their election participation is available to all.

    One possibility: if you sit it out, people will know and blame you if your candidate loses.

    Another possibility: if you vote, and the “wrong” person wins, you’ll be suspected of voting for the “wrong” person.

    I don’t know which they are going for, but it has tickled my “creepy” meter, and this was before I saw it associated specifically with Trump/Vance (the ads I’ve seen mention no candidate and just seems a vague go out and vote pitch)
