On edit, it is legal in PA to display a photograph of your ballot, AFTER you have submitted your vote.

25 Pa. Stat. § 3530
I recommend you delete the image.

(51,122 posts)As long as it was not 'revealed' before you hit the 'Vote' button, you are good.
25 Pa. Stat. § 3530 prohibits a voter from revealing a "ballot or the face of the voting machine voted by him to be seen by any person with the apparent intention of letting it be known how he is about to vote." This would prohibit live streaming of an unsubmitted ballot, but not the publication of images of a ballot after it has been submitted.
Sour grapes! Yum!!!

Our local Dem organization is also having collections for the food bank at all polling places, a great idea. Do 2 good things at once.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
