In the Virginia mail-in voting instructions it is very clear that you are not to show anyone who you voted for. I guess I’m not surprised if other states do not have that, since voting rules are so haphazard in the USA.
It may be illegal to show your vote, exactly to prevent people in an unequal power relationship from pressuring you to vote in a specific way.
I mean, I’m the one depending on my mom not kicking me out, so like, morally speaking, I didn’t do anything wrong.
Legally, ballot selfies are legal in Pennsylvania where I live. Ballot selfies are also legal in Virginia. Why would Virgina make ballot selfies legal, but make showing ballots illegal?
Are you sure its an actual law, and not just a suggestion of the ballot instructions?
Btw, even in the polling booth (in PA at least), you are allowed to have someone assist you vote.
And I’m not even assisting. I’m just giving advice and hope she doesn’t vote for a fascist.
