    Voters are only allowed to take pictures of their own ballots. No selfies are allowed in the voting booth or in that general area. The press is only allowed to film a limited part of the polling area with no voting booths or ballots in view.

      I guarantee that if some idiot walked in live streaming, they’d just let them vote and get them out the door.

      Hell, two idiots literally did that while dressed as Muslims and doing horrible fake accents like a week or two ago for early voting. They’re getting felonies because they just kept early voting under other people’s names, but they filmed the whole fucking thing including intros that said they’re doing election fraud. And then put it online.

      It’s literally the article you’re commenting on…

      But what’s even crazier to me is people just assume any of these rules will be enforced.

      There’s an absolutely huge difference between:

      1. Not allowed to do that

      2. Someone stopping you from doing that

      And by 2026 we should all understand that, because that’s the game the wealthy and powerful have been playing for generations.

      It’s bigger than selfies while voting, our next president needs to operate under “try and stop me” if they want any kind of shot at fixing stuff.
