it does seem weird, but i guess that’s all part of the secret ballot. i just know that was the way it was in my family and with all my friends families too. maybe it was to keep family wars at a minimum. lol (just had a flash of the Jerry Springer Thanksgiving shows...lol) there is no rule about volunteering to tell how you voted by the way.
I guess it’s one of those “whatever” situations.
But I don’t see folks here calling this guy a “bully” and so on because he asked his GF how she voted. Just because you come from a background where people didn’t talk about such doesn’t mean that is the way it for others or the way it has to be.
Some families don’t talk about you-know-what either! ;)
Where I come from, “wars” were avoided by observing the rules of “no talking politics or religion at the dinner table.”
