Freedom of speech have been doing just that all along. Even when you pull the curtain to vote privately you now have the right to make your vote public. Thats the decision from a federal Appeals Court upholding a Lower Court Ruling that declared New Hampshires ban on ballot selfies unconstitutional.

That didnt stop people from posting socalled ballot selfies like state representative leon rideout did. I took a picture of my ballot and posted it on twitter and my Facebook Page for state rep. To me, it was just another incremental infringement on our law on behalf of rideout and 2 other voters. Legal anaylst Kirsten Wilson says the court saw the ban as a First Amendment violation. Its really freedom of speech, and political speech, in particular, is one of the most protected areas of speech in the history of the united states. Jean repres
