Reminder: Don’t take photos of your vote

tabbydragon:

It’s been a while since a big election and this is the first time some Tumblrites are voting so here’s a quick warning:

Please Don’t Snapchat, Instagram, take a selfie with, etc, your vote in the voting booth! There are laws in almost every state forbidding sharing your vote, especially if polls haven’t closer yet. If any officials get wind of it they can invalidate your vote, basically throw it away. This was actually a thing during Obama’s election.

So make sure you get out and vote, and make sure it counts! Keep your phone in your pocket for this one.
