    Q. Do you remember all of your votes?

    Q. Every one?

    Q. Are you sure?

    Q. What if you are compelled to disclose your vote and you lie?

    Q. How would anybody know, assuming that each candidate got at least one vote in your precinct?

    Q. What if you refuse to say, based on your Constitutional rights?

    Q. This IS a joke, right?
