    Got this in the mail today:

    And while some may claim that “both sides are doing this”, the message coming from Democrats versus Republicans shows a stark difference. One is a political violence threat, the other is a reassurance that abusive husbands like Jesse Watters won’t know who you actually voted for.

      I’m honestly surprised Republicans are doing this unless it’s extremely targeted.

      Increasing voter turnout generally works against them.

        Ah but it’s also a threat to known democrats. “If we know you’re progressive, we know you voted”. I definitely feel threatened by it. Still gonna vote, I won’t be swayed or scared off.

      Yeah. I did about fifty hand written postcards to people in a battleground state with that “who you voted for is secret” message. I didn’t add a binoculars drawing to it.
