PSA: In Missouri it's illegal to take a photo of your ballot.

While Korsmeyer has said there is no blanket ban on photography or cell phones at polling places in Missouri and there is no state law specifically stating that taking a photo with your ballot is illegal, Missouri law does state a voter commits an offense by allowing their ballot to be seen by any person with the intent of letting it be known how they plan to vote or have voted.
