I have been voting at my polling place for 19 years now.

This Spring Primary, for the first time ever, big signs went up on the doors informing us that “the use of cell phone cameras on these premises is strictly prohibited”.

Of course it’s a county run by Democrats.

I’m pretty sure you can’t do something like that on the territory of the voting station...but they can’t stop you if you are across the street.

There might be restrictions for inside a polling place, but I’m nearly 100% sure they can’t restrict cameras outside.

There is actually a GOOD reason to restrict cameras on the inside. IIRC, the union thugs used to require proof that you voted D or there would be hell to pay. Preventing cameras inside ensures that no one is intimidated into proving that they voted the way someone else wanted them to. It ensures the secret ballot. I actually favor this law.

But I would also be VERY MUCH in favor of making a photo record of the entire day outside of each polling place (including which buses and cars enter the parking areas). This would not by itself prevent someone from voting multiple times, but it would at least give us some strong evidence of what is going on. Possibly more importantly, we could trace the car/bus owners/renters to find out who is behind it.
