Weekly current event 11/7
1. Topic: Many people are revealing who they voted for in the election on their Twitter
2. Title: Tweeted your ballot? You may have broken the law
3. Article Source: CNN Tech
4. Summary: If you took a picture of your ballot and posted it online, your in trouble. Lucky you that experts say prosecution is unlikely. Do not over exercise you freedom""If you're exercising your First Amendment rights and it's at the discretion of law enforcement, you're in a dangerous situation,"(Hermes).
5. Reaction: I really don't agree with this. In my opinion you should keep that to yourself. You don't want to post every little thing about you on social networking site. Remind people not to post their personal ballots "They will be voided if you are caught, you don't have to prove who you voted for! :)"(Braxton). Even if the person you voted for didn't win, you still have to show them respect.
Five (5) sentence minimum.
6. This impacts the world because posting stuff like that causes anger. When I say anger I mean arguments between people all over your Twitter. We should respect each other for our differences. People in the North must have had a hard time voting becuase of Sandy. Hopefully Obama will help recover those states hit by it. The only place your vote should be is on the ballot slip.
