I keep hearing this rumor. A lot of kids are tweeting their filled out ballots, and I'm hearing rumblings that their doing it is a felony. Anyone know?

May be a felony or misdemeanor.

2. Bad idea

You are not supposed to share your ballot with anyone. I was told that these laws were written to prevent "bosses" from making workers verify that they had voted in a particular way.

(and illegal in Wisconsin)

5. As far as I know, it's a one-way privacy protection.

Your way. No one can force you to disclose the contents of your ballot. But there's no reason why you shouldn't be allowed voluntarily to show it to anyone you want. It's your privacy; you can do what you want with it...

7. I took a pic of mine, so that I can post it tonight or tomorrow after we win

It's my "neener, neener" to my family back in Georgia.

Good luck trying to void my vote after the results come out.

8. No, but taking a picture of it is. Hannity is guilty of that.

Though my state's regulation is vague, I believe there was a sign in my polling place that said that you may not take a photo of your ballot.
