Voters post ballot selfies online in protest of new social media law

“The Legislature changed the law last session, adding the ‘social media’ part. It has been illegal to show your ballot to someone else for a long time, but questions came up about the law after people started posting photos of their completed ballots online. Breaking the ballot-selfie law is a violation and carries a fine of up to $1,000.  Dozens of photos popped up on social media Tuesday, in part because of a Facebook group called NH Ballot Selfies. The group has 14 members, several of whom posted photos of their ballots. Searching Twitter for #ballotselfie comes up with more people posting photos of their ballots, not out of ignorance, but as a form of civil disobedience.”
