On: UK Government Officials Infected with Pegasus

Big Ron can ask you to take a picture of the paper ballot as well, so regardless of mechanism you’re in a pretty sticky situation.

It’s not a perfect system, but I would personally find it comforting knowing that I could verify that my vote counted and that I could independently confirm the election results

Edit: haven’t read the paper in a while, but IIRC you can see that the vote counted without revealing details of who you voted for. They definitely would have covered this case

You can take a picture of a marked paper ballot, trade it in for a fresh one (original is destroyed) and mark the new one differently and turn it in.

A ballot picture doesn't prove the ballot was cast and counted, a receipt that identifies the voted candidate does.

You go into a private booth with a curtain where no one can see what you’re doing. If coercion is at play, I don’t think a ban is going to stop you.

That said, check the edit. This case is definitely covered, I just forgot
