   Is it illegal to post or share my entire ballot? The marked ballot itself? What about just the choices I picked, not a scan/photo the marked piece of paper?

   I'm asking this about future votes, not past ones.

     @hellomiakoda Legality of photographing marked ballots varies by state: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_selfies .

     Saying who you voted for is always legal.

     Here in Minnesota, sharing photos of marked ballots is illegal with a penalty of the ballot being considered as spoiled and not counted. So I have only shared photos of ballot return envelopes, which is allowed.
