I am trying to learn more about this topic. I am in California and you can go online and confirm which party your registered to and also if your ballot was received but you cannot find out if your vote was counted as cast... I am trying to decide if there is some shadiness to this or maybe its some kind of a voter privacy issue...

People often vote differently from registration, and some states actually don't register by party.
Ever heard of strategic voting, i.e. registering for the opposite party to help manipulate the primary candidates?(promote forward the worst/weakest candidate in the primary in order to beat them in the general)
Interesting - CA doesn't have primaries but I have lived in states in the past that do... I have not heard of strategic voting though... I see the logic...
