#14  We don't have to worry about vote buying here. The Soros-provided voting machine will make sure you vote the approved way.

#13  At least in Germany it's not. You may not publish a photo with your filled out ballot though because this violates secret voting.

Vote buying isn't an issue in Germany.

#12  The ban on phones is common world wide. It aims to prevent vote buying. The selfie can be used as proof you voted for someone and thus are entitled to the money or other favor they promised you for such vote.

#9  Fairly certain that "words were exchanged" and the authorities had to move before things got carried away.

Excepting anarchists, anyone with an IQ > room temp does not really want violence at the polling station.

#8  I remember hearing stories about POLL WORKERS wearing Obama hats and T shirts at polling places. Of course, this was ok, because it was for Obama.

#7  But the DOJ supported the Black Panthers with baseball bat at the entrance to polling places...

#6  So no reference by name of the candidate... a free speech issue might be made here. Where is the ACLU, hmm?

#5  Justin Timberlake almost got into trouble over in Memphis over this. Tennessee has, as do several other states, a law against taking a selfies in the voting booth of you and your completed ballot for a record of how you voted. Why would this be against the law (other than to prevent an Anthony Weiner kind of scenario)? Voting booths in our area do not give you a paper trail after you push the "Vote" button.

#4  ..never know what will happen to it, like Philadelphia '12.

#3  apparently this is the law, so it's good he was forced to get rid of it

plus you don't want the poll workers knowing you vote whichever way

#2  Yea, giving in to the left brought such good results in the last 50+ years.

#1  Good. Need only a yahoo or two to feel violated by the hat and/or t-shirt and go full whack. Headline "Trump Supporter Violates Electioneering Law - Incites Riot."

As I get older, I find "In Your Face" is a sub-optimal persuasion position.
