Tennessee on verge of banning phones, cameras at polling places

[cinyc]

This is nothing new.  Photographing inside the polling place is already illegal in many states.

Not having a ban on photography in the voting both itself could lead to voter intimidation, either due to others taking a picture of those who voted, possibly including their secret ballot, or through bosses or union officials requiring voters to photograph their ballots to show they voted the "correct" way.  So there is a basis for banning photography in the voting booth.
