File Under Stupid Criminals: Sean Hannity tweets his ballot -- possibly violating state law

Fox News host Sean Hannity apparently tweeted pictures of his ballot today. This may be a misdemeanor under New York State elections law which prohibits voters from showing a ballot “after it is prepared for voting, to any person so as to reveal the contents.”

What's with the Conservative and Working Families rows? Are those 3rd parties? And if so, why are the Democrats and republicans listed under them?

Most GOP candidates also get the Conservative party endorsement while many Dems get the working families endorsement. Regardless of which line you get the vote from it counts the same.

Seems cool to me. I wish they would do that in Texas. As it is, I know a lot of local progressive who won't vote Democratic, but would vote for President Obama if a 3rd party endorsed him.
