Don't take selfies while voting. Unless of course you are a celebrity, then the rules do not apply, much like in the election itself.

But taking photos or video inside polling stations is illegal in Tennessee.

Trump's son did the same thing.

Someone call 911.

I'm torn between wanting Trump for the trainwreck, and wanting Hillary because Trump would probably economically destroy Canada as well.

Im amazed it's come to this either way.

If nothing else, by tomorrow I'll be able to turn on my TV/radio/click on a Youtube video without being utterly bombarded with political ads. It will be a beautiful thing.

What's the reasoning behind no ballot selfies? The only thing I can think of is enough of them might be seen as kind of an exit polling and could influence voters during the day?

If that's the case, make them legal just can't post them till polls close across the country.

Photographing your ballot would be a step in selling your vote.

Here's a very good, albeit long, article on the various reasons, laws and issues around ballot/polling place photography:
