decent fine to who never showed up. It’s part of the responsibilities.
Ballots are always paper, never a computer screen.
Voting is always in person, never by mail.
Government-issued ID must be presented to vote.
The voter name must be recorded at the place of voting, and published.
The number of votes counted must be identical to the number of voter names recorded and published.
Add an option- None above in every voters card. Award decent fine to who never showed up. It’s part of the responsibilities.

So it will be public knowledge that you did vote, but not how you voted.
For nursing homes and hospitals, perhaps the voting "place" itself could be mobile, with some volunteers going around, checking id's, recording them, and taking the ballots.
Voting should be made public.
Anyone who fear being known how he/she voted can stay home.
Discriminating on basis of voting should carry heavy fines and jail time. Don’t ask don’t tell is bad system.
I would like ballots to have a non-predictable, private serial number.

I'm guessing you don't live in silicon valley. People are fired for their beliefs.
We already have heavy fines and jail time for discriminating on basis of voting. Doesn't work now and definitely won't work in the future if the votes are known.
In addition to corersion (being fired, having house or car vandalized, etc.), another problem is that it aides in buying votes. With secret ballot, I can agree to vote a certain way when accosted by someone with a baseball bat or a $20 bill (stick or carrot) and then secretly vote the way I want to vote. Because coercion can't work with in-person secret voting, it removes an entire area of fraud. (Mail-in ballots, o...
California’s Labor Code 1101 and 1102 make it illegal for employers to:
Terminate employment or retaliate in any other way against an employee for their political views, beliefs, or activity
Adopt or enforce any rule, policy, or regulation preventing employees from participating in political activity
Adopt or enforce any rule or policy in an attempt to control or direct an employee’s political activity
Control or direct the political activity or affiliations of employees by threatening to fire them or retaliate in any other way
Coerce or influence any employee (e.g., by threatening to fire them) to adopt or follow any particular course or line of political activity
Examples of Retaliation for Political Views or Activity
If you were fired for your political views or activity, you might have a retaliation case against your employer. Examples of illegal retaliation because of an employee’s political opinions or activity include:
=Being fired for taking part in the Black Lives Matter movement
=Being demoted after writing a Facebook post about your intention to vote for a particular candidate while your employer supports a different candidate in the same election
=Being fired for campaigning for a candidate for public office when your employer supports another candidate
These are only a few examples of political retaliation that is illegal in California.
You can't be fired for political beliefs in CA. I.e. for things like voting or campaigning for a wrong party - it's explicitly ptohibited by the state law.

Haha - good luck suing a multi-billion dollar company
I swear, the fucking unpaid overtime lawsuits come every 3-5 years like a fucking clockwork and are being consistently lost, with back pay and punitive damages awarded to the plaintiffs.

Who the fuck is working unpaid OT? Literally past one pay period of unpaid OT I'm leaving the office when my 40 hours is up.

Because coercion can't work with in-person secret voting, it removes an entire area of fraud. (Mail-in ballots, of course, allow the coercion because someone can demand to see the ballot and then use one of the 2000 Mules to drop the ballot at 3:15 AM.)
I'd rather the system I mentioned just above where a private serial number can later be used to look up how my vote was recorded. That would make my vote verifiable to me...
People think Linux is some sort of nerd machine that you have to be an engineer to use but that's just the marketing of Microsoft and Apple.
Eventually state oppression needs to be resisted. Anonymous voting gives all the power to counter. How do you know their count is correct?
It doesn't matter which technology you use, Only tool is people speak up against voting corruption by outing themselves.
