They might want to discredit his vote.

13. Even if they had those resources, how would 'they' know which ballot was yours?

My husband and I voted exactly the same (there are some things we agree on). So which ballot is his and which mine?

How are "they" going to "discredit" your private vote.

I mean, truly. Ten seconds of basic reasoning smashes today's silliest meme.

ballot. The difference is that you print it out yourself from the registrar's website. So, I could take a photo of it, with the votes marked and it would look exactly the same as the one I put into the scanner. There's no way in Minnesota to tell the two photos apart, and there's no law against telling people what my vote was. I voted for Obama/Biden and every Democrat down-ticket. I could photograph my sample ballot and post it here. Nothing anyone could do to me.

This is nonsense. Nobody's going to do anything about those photos or to the people who posted them.
