check cell phones

I was chatting online a couple of days ago with an Italian friend who has been a poll worker in her community too. In Italy the job is randomly assigned, like jury duty. She told me that they have a big problem with people selling their votes and photographing their completed ballots as proof. And so the poll workers have to check voters for cameras or even cell phones with cameras!

I just heard recently that it's illegal in North Carolina for a voter to photograph their own completed ballot, and I thought that sounded like a silly law. I guess there's a good reason for it.
