and talked with the Election Board supervisor for my district. End result is that I will be working the polls in 2020 for both the primary and the general election.

(2,227 posts)So I went through the entire ballot filling in the Democratic candidates' bubbles. I voted to NOT retain any republican judge. (They all were retained any how...)
Then I took a photograph of both sides of the ballot, with my Drivers License AND Voter ID in the photo with the ballot.
If it is EVER needed, I am going to be able to PROVE my vote.

Since this was a local election, I knew some of the candidates from being in some of the same community activities. That helped me choose between Dems for options to pick 3 out of 5.

(22,250 posts)or take any kind of picture! I am an election judge in Texas, and we do not allow cell phones within 100 feet of the voting area. Signs posted everywhere. If I saw someone try to photograph their ballot I'd have to tell them to put it away. This includes just taking a photo of your kid casting his/her first vote. No pictures. Not. One.
Of course now we have a 100% paper ballot system in our county which we used for the first time today. You can vote at any of the 325 precincts in the county no matter where you live and after you make your selections using a touch screen, you print your ballot which you then feed to the scanner where it is counted.
