The New York Board of Elections has received an official complaint against Eric Trump, who apparently violated New York election law by posting a picture of his completed ballot on Twitter. The Democratic Coalition Against Trump filed the complaint Tuesday morning, after Trump tweeted and deleted a picture of his filled-out ballot. It is illegal to photograph a completed ballot in the state. Similar anti-“ballot selfie” laws have been overturned and challenged across the U.S., and an effort to change the law in New York proved unsuccessful last week when a judge ruled that it would cause too much confusion to do so with the election so near in time.
