History of voting locations, the reasons we vote in high schools today
Fox News
Voting has changed significantly since the beginning of the American republic, and it looks a lot different today, both in how people vote and where.
It was feared that both voice voting – and the fact that it was not secret – left people open to intimidation. Voice voting was fully extinct by the end of the 19th century and replaced by the secret ballot. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
Over time, the voice vote was replaced by paper ballots, first with tickets and eventually more standardized voting forms that could be used in combination with voting machines – which would become the standard way of voting in the 20th century. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
