This is a departure from my normal videos. I needed to speak in person to describe my experience in failing to record my visit to my local polling place. There are two statutes that are messing with my flow, California Code 18541 and Federal Code 42 US Code 1973 i (b)
The two web sites that I mentioned in the video are:
- Center on Citizens Media Blog http://citmedia.org/blog/2006/11/06/state-laws-vary-on-polling-place-photography
- California Secretary of State Elections and Voter Information http://www.ss.ca.gov/elections/elections.htm

Hi. I enjoyed both of your election day vlogs. You really have a nice voice and you look photogenic. :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway I linked to these vlogs and hopefully someone can use this as a primer on what to do when you seek to photograph the polling place. It's unfortunate that you run into one ornery poll worker but no doubt it happens. And to a point I share your lack of enthusiasm for the process.
I sincerely hope your next election day will go off without a hitch.
