The secret ballot is one of the backbones of modern government. It says that you have a right to represent yourself at the ballot without becoming directly involved. It allows you to be responsible without making it a first responsibility. It allows you to be as honest to the public as you are to yourself.
I would say that the right to a secret ballot is more fundamental than the right to bear arms. It comes first.
I would say that asking voters to register with a political party is something mighty close to identifying the voter with a ballot. The government has no business knowing who votes for what in the polls and it also has no business asking what your political party is.
