Threatened with fines and jail time for taking a ballot selfie.
FIRE Plaintiff
In March 2024, Susan Hogarth took a selfie with her completed ballot for a primary election, and then posted the image to social media. A few weeks later, Susan received a letter from the North Carolina State Board of Elections telling her she committed a crime and demanding she take the post down. She refused, and with help from FIRE, she’s suing members of the board of elections to have the unconstitutional statutes struck down.
