Photoblogging Your Vote!

22314353538_468.jpg

The advent of cameraphones makes it pretty easy to sneak a picture of your ballot before you vote. In the old days, they prohibited this kind of thing at the polls, because there was the risk that you'd sell your vote and then use the photo as a kind of receipt to verify what you did. Of course, in New York, you could always click the levers one way, snap a picture, and then vote the other. Who else snapped a picture of their ballot? Put a link in the comments!

John Kerry SUCKS.

 

I wanted to take a picture of the back of mine, but only as solid evidence of the horrible typo that was on it.

 

I agree with kerry but how could you vote for Schumer?

 
 

Will you guys ever get the election thing right? ;-)

 

So I suppose you're endorsing Kerry.

 

PLEASE BE CAREFUL who you vote for NY Supreme Court! Remember the decision that didn't allow protesters to be in Central Park (a public place)? It was decided by Justice Jackie Silberman, who happens to be listed as both a Democrat and a Republican.

Forget the camera phone--I brought in the old Canon Powershot A95.

I was tame and only shot the blank ballot for my blog. I respect the sanctity of a private voting booth too much. Gay, I know.

Also, I think I saw 64 year-old John Lennon at the polls. No shit.
