Would it not have been better to use their offices to support increased research to reduce these tragedies ?
[QUOTE="superdave, post: 34801465, member: 5058"} No, I'm serious. The IU basketball coach has the same name. There can't be a whole lot of Tom Creans in the US. Or maybe that guy is pranking us.[/QUOTE] No, I'M serious. Just wait and see after tomorrow how many Trump supporters claim to have been under the Imperius Curse.
I'm basing the increased risk of Hillary being assassinated on the increased prevalence of public threats reported in news articles. One inbred shouting "assassinate the bitch" here, one inbred talking about doing his patriotic duty and taking one for the country there, one Trump talking about 2nd amendment solutions here, one repub leader joking about gun targets with Hillary's face on them there. Repubs are much more comfortable with this kind of talk this time around. The Repubs are less and less responsible, and somebody out there is going to follow through.
Eric Trump illegally posted a photo of his marked ballot https://t.co/cAOC3fleI0 pic.twitter.com/IHDhxcX7GJ— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) November 8, 2016 Breaking the law? Funny for the entire "election integrity" push
Or, as I saw on the Outrageous Acts of Science the other day, don't blow on them with a lit candle nearby.. http://digg.com/video/powdered-sugar-birthday-cake-flames
It's against a law. A lot of states have laws against photographing a ballot or taking a picture while inside "a voting booth" There is a loophole in some states that allows one to take a picture with an unfilled ballot. Though this law is 126 years old in NY, it is rarely enforced now a days.
Link dump, but Justin Timberlake did the same thing and, as you can imagine, killed a lot of electrons as people discussed it. http://time.com/4545024/justin-timberlake-tennessee-voting-selfie-violation/
There is some history of employers' requiring employees to provide proof that they voted in the "right" way. Edit: Although, in the days when most of these laws were written, taking selfies was a non-trivial effort.
The idea is that if it's illegal to photograph your ballot, then people can't pay for you to vote a certain way because there's no proof of how you voted.
I've heard people sell their votes in other countries and they use cell phone images as proof to the purchaser.
