Why secret ballots? Don’t we have a right to know how our representatives voted on this crucial issue?

This is a survey or a straw poll. The real one is in public.

This one just let everyone know that McCarthy does not have 218. He has the most, but not enough.

Actually, in this case, secret ballots might well aid the challengers to the GOPe.

They wont be on record as voting against, so won’t be subject to reprisals.
