So much for the principle of the secret ballot.
This.

I understand that need to keep lists to make sure that "fake" people aren't voting... I don't think it needs to be general public knowledge... And I think it's horrible to mail out a list of who voted.

2ndly it is a felony for anyone to take a picture of their vote or any other way they might use to "prove" whom they voted for. So good luck with that. Both parties would be in trouble, those doing the forcing and those trying to prove who they voted for to whomever.
That is a Wisconsin law, as far as I can tell.

I've never seen it mentioned for other states, including Oregon where we all vote by mail.

Sadly they are public. You can even see is the person is a Republican or a Democrat (or any other party). I don't remember the website right now but I know that it exists somewhere because I was so outraged when I saw it!!!

That seems to be OH and FL, and it looks like you can click a link to have your information 'suppressed' I'm going to check around and see if I can find one like it for Indiana.
