The Can’t Stop the Feeling singer shared a pic of himself at the polls and it could spell trouble because law prohibits voters from taking photos or recording conversations while voting. Yikes!
Although Justin Timberlake had good intentions in mind, encouraging young people to vote early, he actually may have broken the law!
JT, who owns property in Nashville, Tennessee was promoting early voting, and posted a selfie on Instagram with the following message: "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 can't HEAR YOU! Get out and VOTE!"
Taking photos inside voting booths is prohibited in the States too, where a new law, which took effect in January, forbids Tennesseans “from using the device for telephone conversations, recording, or taking photographs or videos while inside the polling place." The crime is a misdemeanor, with a penalty that could include up to 30 days in jail and $50 fine, that’s roughly Php2,500.
Local county lawmakers are reportedly taking JT’s oversight seriously with a source close to the District Attorney telling TMZ the case is “under review”.
JT just couldn’t stop the feeling!
