Beyonce shared a pic as she prepared to cast her vote and people are up in arms over it. Some are saying the singer broke NY voting law, which states:
"Any person who...makes or keeps any memorandum of anything occurring within the booth, or directly or indirectly, reveals to another the name of any candidate voted for by such voter; or shows his ballot after it is prepared for voting, to any person so as to reveal the contents...is guilty of a misdemeanor."
The only thing this ballot reveals is Beyonce's name and there's no information on her voting choice. Here's the thing though - this isn't even a New York ballot! It's an absentee ballot for Harris County, Texas. Texas law does not allow for photographs at polling places and the law isn't really enforced for absentee ballots. The fact that Beyonce is seen all over New York City does not mean that's where she's registered to vote.
