not allowed much less coercing employees, "I heard an Employer in Houston, TX is forcing the Employees to vote for Trump and to send a picture of the ballot as a proof? To all Lawyer out there... is this legal to force employees to do such a thing???"
I know many of you are skeptical about twitter and the company has not been named but would not be surprised if it were true.

(14,732 posts)Texas law bars the use of any wireless communication device or any mechanical or electronic means of recording images or sound within 100 feet of a voting station, exceptions for election officers. Taking photos, audio or video inside or near a voting booth is illegal.

(5,643 posts)Electronic devices capable of taking photos or videos are prohibited in voting booths in Texas.
Would have to be mail in ballots and then it would amount to voter intimidation and be illegal.
But since it was twitter and no company was named, I'd give it a 2 on the scale of truth...and wait and see if there is confirmation as something like this would get some traction if it were true.
