I know that you mean well, but you seeing your mother’s vote is exactly why mail in voting should be the exception. Voting booths exist so that votes are secret, which is how it should be.
My mom hates Trump since she thinks he’s crude, but I’m 99% sure that my dad voted for them both by mail in votes.
In the Virginia mail-in voting instructions it is very clear that you are not to show anyone who you voted for. I guess I’m not surprised if other states do not have that, since voting rules are so haphazard in the USA.
It may be illegal to show your vote, exactly to prevent people in an unequal power relationship from pressuring you to vote in a specific way.
