> Mail in ballots don’t get rid of secrecy

They mean voter buying cases, "paying you to confirm a vote for X" and see you check the card.

In ballot cabins the buyer can't come with you inside the booth to confirm, so your vote has verifiable privacy/secrecy.

It doesn't really solve all type of vote buying problems (like clientelism lists, etc), but removes that confirmation step.
