I was shocked and then later surprised that this amazing invasion of privacy was in fact legal.....

There's a difference between illegal and questionable practice.

especially considering that our individual vote, i.e. the secret ballot, is legally protected.

If what was published was people's votes, I would think you'd have a case. But "outing" people for their beliefs and activities is a time-honored albeit tacky practice.
