The Chief Justice asserts that he will, for lack of a law, run elections under procedures he has drafted.

These procedures include a nearly secret ballot.

Is a secret ballot a good idea? I think it's a great idea. I also think we should seek to further improve its secrecy.

Secret Ballots allow for a public to have more confidence in their own true preferences vs. the overwhelming mass of supposed majority. down with the mob mentality!

But of course, any arguments on the sentiment of individual integrity?  ;)

I have no issue with secret ballots. To be honest, I really don't have any strong feelings on the subject one way or the other.
