I had an interesting thing happen. The town in which I live is in two counties. While the majority of the village is in Grant County. Seems I was the only one to vote who lived in the Iowa County side. A state wide paper had an article saying the lone voter in Montfort, living in Iowa County voted for .... My vote wasn't private. Stupid journalism.

Are you 100% positive it is a different barcode on every ballot?
It may be a barcode for the counting machines to know which precinct or district the ballot is to be counted in. In many states multiple precincts or districts are counted on centrally located machines. The precincts or districts may have different ballots.

There is a lot more information on this. Right now, my breakfast is calling.

Anyone who knows me well knows who I vote for. Sometimes that's good sometimes not so much

Same here, but I do not think any of us wanting the state or any other politicos watching over our vote.
