In a lot of countries voting is by secret ballot so why in the US do people have their affiliation publicly registered? The point of secret ballots is to avoid harassment from political opponents, is this not a problem over there?

The problem with secret ballot voting is that only the counters (and each individual voter, regarding their personal vote) know who cast a vote for who. Therefore a corrupt counter say controlled by the political party that happens to be in power at the time can just say well our candidate won and there’s no no public record for anyone to say no they didn’t win because we know who cast what vote.
