    Is there any way they would know who you voted for if you went together? It’s all pretty private in the US.

      Nah. The voting is anonymous. I mean, the envelope including its contents has no unique information. If someone wanted to figure out who it belonged to, they’d probably have to resort to fingerprints.

      Although, if you do scribble on something else, someone who’s counting the votes may take a picture of the ballot:

      “I choose (vote) you, Pikachu!”
