STATE SENATE PASSES BILL TO ALLOW PHOTOS TAKEN IN POLLING LOCATIONS

The Tennessee Senate unanimously approved a bill to allow pictures to be taken in polling locations. The legislation was centered around Justin Timberlake’s infamous selfie taken in a Memphis Polling booth last year. The bill will need to be approved by the House now and would allow photographing or video-taping a filled-out ballot, except if it’s intended to commit voter intimidation, voter fraud or sell a vote. Some cellphone use would remain banned, including calls within 10 feet of voting booths; discussing candidates or ballot issues out loud on the phone; and recording other people at the polling place without permission.
