For those interested, I have filed a Federal Civil Rights lawsuit in CO. You can view the suit here: http://independentpoliticalreport.co...itical-speech/
The motion for Temporary Restraining Order is set for 11/2/16.The State. Ideas so good they have to be mandatory.

Ideas so good they have to be mandatory.

Oregon is mail in, too, but they have drop-off points that make it super easy. Oregon seems to handle voting really intelligently.The State. Ideas so good they have to be mandatory.

I do since I use social media in my role as Communications Director - the actual thing is pretty compelling.
But then again some people think the "Piss Jesus" was compelling. I don't. But they have the right to do it with their right to free expression.The State. Ideas so good they have to be mandatory.

So apparently the reason you are not allowed to take a selfie with a completed ballot is supposed to be to prevent coercion. Like if someone held a gun to your wife's head and said, vote Clinton and take a selfie proving it, or you wife gets it.
