Eric Trump, son of the Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, posted on Twitter a picture of the content of his ballot, after his father was elected, which caused an uproar in American circles and prompted the so-called Democratic Alliance against Trump to file a complaint against Trump Jr. to the Election Management Committee in New York State. , due to the illegality of Eric's behavior as he sees it.
And Eric Trump, through his official account on Twitter, published his picture inside the polling station, and wrote under it, “It is a great honor to vote for my father, as he will do a great job for America.” He attached his tweet with the tag “Make America Great Again” for his father’s campaign, before he removed the tweet in later.
New York state electoral law prohibits a voter from disclosing the content of their ballot to another person, but there is no provision prohibiting sharing a photo showing the content of the ballot on Twitter or other social media.
A group within the Democratic Party called the "Democratic Alliance against Trump" filed a complaint with the New York State Elections Board against Trump Jr., citing the state's electoral law.
On the other hand, Donald Trump's office confirmed that Eric's case is "ridiculous" because he is ignorant of the laws related to taking a picture of the content of his ballot, but at the same time stressed the need to pay attention to these laws, and to be aware of their difference from one state to another.
