I took a picture of my ballot.

Granted, my state (Maine) mandates a verifiable vote anyway. But can you be too careful?

Also, makes a nice memento. Anyone else do this?

1. I did, I'm going to write an essay about my work on the campaign

and my feelings about the campaign and the election and include the picture.

2. I took a phone photo of my "screen" when I voted in the Primary

And I will do the same today when I vote!!!!

6. In 2004 my in-booth pic was

of me flipping off GWB's spot on the ballot.

In 2006 it was of Casey's line, already selected (against Rick Sphinctorum).

Today's pic was of Obama's line, already selected. :)

My question is, though: Is it legal to take a photo of the ballot when you're in the booth?

9. In many states, it is not allowed...

To prevent the possibility of vote-buying, they don't allow cameras in the photo booths.
Otherwise, you could sell your vote to the highest bidder, and use the photo as proof of who you voted for.

10. Makes perfect sense

Thanks for your reply.

7. No pic, just enduring memory of vote: Obama for President!! n/t

8. Sadly, I didn't think of it...

but I did pause to take a good look before I pulled the lever...it is history!
