On October 26, three voters in New York filed a federal lawsuit against the New York law that makes it illegal for anyone to photograph one’s voted ballot and show the picture to anyone else. Silberberg v Board of Elections, s.d. See this story, which reveals that 15 states have laws like this.

Maryland U.S. Senate Debate Dominated by Protest of the Excluded Green Party Nominee, Margaret Flowers

On October 25, WJZ-TV hosted a U.S. Senate debate for the Democratic and Republican nominees for U.S. Senate in Maryland. Three candidates are on the ballot, a Democrat, Green, and Republican, but the only two candidates invited to debate were the Democratic and Republican nominees. The sponsor said only candidates who were at 15% were invited. However, no poll for the U.S. Senate race in Maryland has been taken during October that asked voters to choose among the three ballot-listed candidates.

Here is a story about the protest carried out by Margaret Flowers, the Green nominee. The debate was taped and has not been aired on television yet. It will be aired the evening of October 26, but it is extremely likely that the first 20 minutes will be edited out.
