Eric Trump may have broken New York state law by tweeting a photo of his completed ballot.
The second son of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump tweeted a photo of a ballot with the oval over his father's name filled in on Tuesday.
The tweet said: "It is an incredible honour to vote for my father! He will do such a great job for the U.S.A!"
It was later deleted from Trump's Twitter account.
An 1890 New York law bans voters from showing marked election ballots to others.
A federal judge ruled last week that the law applies to social media posts.
More disturbing than @EricTrump breaking rules by taking pic of his ballot is that he apparently doesn't know how to stay inside the lines. pic.twitter.com/gySyjeXzsS
