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?

They dont. Party registration is not publicly avaliable information nor is it at all required to vote.

All registering for a party does is let you vote in that parties private unofficial pre elections, and you van often do that even if you arent registered so long as you agree to not vote in the other parties pre election.
