Timberlakes selfie was ilegal

Hello.

Today i read an article including Justin Timberlake, Timberlake flew from LA to his hometown Memphis to vote for the election.

In the article we read that Timberlake took a selfie while he was voting, he posted the picture on instagram and wrote "Hey! You! Yeah, YOU! I just flew from LA to Memphis to #rockthevote !!!! No excuses, my good people! There could be early voting in your town too. If not, November 8th! Choose to have a voice! If you don´t. then we  cant HEAR YOU! Get out and vote." Because of this picture on instagram Timberlake got spared a brush with the law. In Tennessee it became illegal to take photos inside polling locations in 2015.

Timberlake did not take a picture of who he voted for. I cant see why its so bad that Timberlake posted a selfie inside the polling location on instagaram, I will say he did it to encourage others to also vote. Since he is a so known and famous artist an actor he will encourage his fans to vote. There are alot of young people that wont vote since they are to lazy or just dont care about it. But when they see that their idol is voting, they will consider to vote anyway.
