I have a habit of publically (on my blog) disclosing my DPL vote, with explanation, and will probably do so again this year (though that is not by any means certain). However, as I did last time when I ran for DPL, I will not disclose my vote before voting is over. The reason for this is simple: First, I don't finalize my thoughts on how to vote before campaigning is over. I think that's only fair; there might be something that pops up during campaigning that makes me think twice about voting for some candidate, even though I very much like a given candidate or his/her platform. Or, on the contrary, a candidate might have a poor platform but convince me during campaigning. As such, I cannot disclose my vote until I actually cast it, because I could (and often do) change my vote fairly last-minute. Second, during the vote campainging is supposed to be over, so it would not be proper for me to to then disclose and comment on my vote if I'm running myself. -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html
