No "selfies" of ballots at the polling both in NY
http://www.newsday.com/news/new-york/lawsuit-challenges-state-restrictions-on-ballot-selfies-1.12535310
...
Under state election law, it is a misdemeanor for voters to share their completed election ballot with others. Violating the rule is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine, according to the law.
“The current guidance is that although you may take a picture of yourself voting in the poll site, you should not post any photo which shows a completed ballot,” said Thomas Connolly, a spokesman for the New York State Board of Elections.
...
Not sure if everyone knew this or not. There is a lawsuit to change that law, but until then, it's illegal.

Re: No "selfies" of ballots at the polling both in NY
God forbid we don't take a selfie.
After all, if you don't post it to social media, it didn't happen.
I have no idea what people are going to do.
No wonder there is a lawsuit to change it. I mean it's a very important matter that definitely requires a lawsuit. Definitely.

Seriously, it would never dawn on me to take a selfie while voting. I try to get in and out as quickly as a I can.

Ah yes, I'm so bummed I can't take and post my blue-down-the-line ballot so everyone in my very red county can see it.

No
selfies do no belong in the voting booth or place. Who we vote for is private and so should going to the polls.

My friends don't need a selfie to know who I am very proudly voting for.
