ballot. The difference is that you print it out yourself from the registrar's website. So, I could take a photo of it, with the votes marked and it would look exactly the same as the one I put into the scanner. There's no way in Minnesota to tell the two photos apart, and there's no law against telling people what my vote was. I voted for Obama/Biden and every Democrat down-ticket. I could photograph my sample ballot and post it here. Nothing anyone could do to me.

This is nonsense. Nobody's going to do anything about those photos or to the people who posted them.
