Huffington Post Reports Compromised Ballot Secrecy; Is the Same Thing Happening in Cherokee?

The Huffington Post Reported that ballot secrecy in elections is being compromised. I've long alleged that the same thing could occur (if it hasn't already happened) in our tribal elections, something clearly biased election board members have denied.
Think about it. Voters sign their names on a line that is numbered. In some polling stations, their ballots register the same number after their ballots are scanned. This is particularly problematic in smaller communities like Cherokee County.
I've long felt that incumbent candidates knew exactly how I voted, which may have, at least in part (I'm aware that certain tribal politicians aren't fond of tribal members who voice their opinions or ask questions), explain their hostility. One supporter of Principal Chief Michell Hicks even argued that I deserved to be fired from the One Feather because I supported his opposition. Now how can that person be sure? Turns out they can be sure.
If this can happen at well organized elections required to have high professional standards, this can happen in Cherokee where compromised objectivity, competence and professionalism have become the norm.
