And, these days, when we do something exciting we want to tell the world about it through social network sites like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

But while there may be a temptation to take a photo of your completed ballot and post it on the internet with pride, it's not a very good idea. In fact in states like Wisconsin it's a felony to let anybody else see your ballot or a photo of your ballot.
