This pic is legal... because it isn't a marked ballot. Photo: Ramsey Mohsen
Voters documented their polling experiences more than ever before yesterday (Flickr, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace…).
But how much of that material is legal to share with others?
When I went to vote, I was told to put my camera away. However, according to the Citizen Media Law Project, the law in Kansas doesn’t expressly prohibit cameras in polling places (same for Missouri).
I should’ve fought to keep my camera rolling… though it would be illegal for me to post a photo or video of a marked ballot.
Check the laws in your state before you share your content!
Good thing I didn’t mark my ballot in my picture
