Illinois State Board of Elections “No Right To Secret Ballot”
In an amazing stance, the Illinois State Board of Elections, through their legal representative, the Illinois Attorney General, claim that we have no right to a secret ballot.
“While plaintiff attempts to suggest to the court that there is a fundamental right to a secret ballot, no such right exists.”
Here in Virginia the State Board of Elections argued that they had no responsibility to mail out absentee ballots to military voters early enough to be sure they had time to return them.
[...] Of course, voters who think they have a constitutional right to a secret ballot won’t find much comfort from the State Board of Elections. [...]
