A wife whose husband demands to know how she voted is exactly whom this ad is aimed at. She might be stuck in a coercive (or worse, violent) relationship she can't escape from, but lying about her vote to avoid triggering the husband is no game - it's self-preservation.
Protection from an asshole who tries to control his spouse wasn't the original reason for secret ballots, but today's MAGA is proving the wisdom of that secrecy.
