Due to social media a lot of people are taking selfies of their completed ballots in the State of Florida but did you know it was illegal? In Florida photographs are not allowed in polling places or of mailed ballots.

ABC News pointed out Florida is not the only state where ballot selfies are illegal.

OTHER STATES WHERE BALLOT SELFIES ARE ILLEGAL
