We vote in privacy but your voter information is available for all the public to see.
I don't think it's anyone's business what my name, address, phone number and political affiliation is.
I believe this keeps some folks from registering and voting especially in today's violate and targeting society.

I believe that has always been the case, at least for me, going back to when I registered to vote at age 18 back in California. I guess people knowing my party affiliation never bothered me, and did not feel invasive. But then, back in the day, I was always listed in the phone book with my name, address and phone number, as were most people I knew.
