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?

I’ve never been harassed for my party registration, no. Not seen as a problem.

Being registered to a party doesn’t mean you always vote for that party. Maybe you just like voting in their primaries.
