It does not mean that voters are not allowed to make their choice public (or to claim they voted in a particular way, despite having voted differently). The point of a secret vote is to make sure vote buying is ineffective, since under secret ballots the buyer is unable to verify that the voter actually cast the ballot he or she claimed to have cast; and that point is preserved even if some of us publish our (real or fake, you can't tell) choices. -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho, Debian developer http://kaijanaho.info/antti-juhani/blog/en/debian
