A Vote and a Voice

I read a "Room for Debate" article about if taking selfies in a voting booth is an invasion of privacy. I learned that the now private voting, was put on display for all to see. In earlier times, people would proudly march up, ballots in hand, and make their vote. This is obviously a big difference from now. However, why did the pride of voting diminish?

It seems like these days the subject of voting is so taboo, things like selfies in the voting booth are triggering to some people. Why do people feel this way about voting? I'm of the mind that you can do whatever makes you happy. As long as it isn't disrespectful or demeaning towards other parties, I see no issue in posting or saying whom you voted for. You're exercising your freedom of speech, granted to you for being an American. You shouldn't be ridiculed for using your voice.
