Cuz most people don’t care about regular elections. The presidential election is all that gets their attention.

Right but it's not always the same voters that sit out the midterms.  Sometimes more D's sit out, sometimes fewer.

Honest inquiry, are you ok with the government knowing who you voted for? It seems to me that the People run a great risk when individual political opposition is known to those in power. I personally think that we must return to in person secret ballot only voting or this slope will become a cliff.

It's already a matter of public record which party I register with and which petitions I sign.  The mailman isn't supposed to open my ballot, and the supervisor of elections is just supposed to feed it into the machine. They give you the same unique barcode when you show up in person, you know.
