Please please please correct me if I'm wrong, but nobody can know who you voted for unless you tell them. Just that you voted. Ballots are unsigned and you place it in the box (supervised, but folded and unexamined) yourself.

This is the law in all fifty states.

And please, nobody should be photographing their ballots or even using a phone or camera in the polling station. If it is possible to generate proof of vote, the controlling assholes of the world will use that to illegally coerce votes.

Some states allow it, others prohibit it, but it is unclear whether prohibitions are constitutional.

Mail in ballots do have the wrinkle in that the ballot is filed in at home where a controlling and abusive spouse can control behavior.
