Eric Trump broke the law with this ballot photo tweet
As we roll through Election Day, voters around the country are sharing photos of their ballots on social media. Among those is Eric Trump, who tweeted out a completed ballot for his father this morning. One small problem: the photo was probably illegal.
He has since the deleted the tweet.
New York, where Eric Trump lives, has a law on the books making it a misdemeanor if anyone "shows his ballot after it is prepared for voting, to any person so as to reveal the contents." (If there's any doubt about the state, "Nueva York" is also just visible at the top of the photo.) Similar "ballot selfie" laws are in place in several states around the US, although their wording differs.
