Donald Trump Peeked at Melania’s Ballot While They Voted and Twitter Can’t Get Enough
Earlier this morning, Donald Trump went to his polling place with his wife Melania Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump vote. While they were in the voting booths, the GOP nominee looked over at his wife’s ballot a few times.

Maybe he didn’t trust that his wife would vote for him, so he wanted to make sure. Or, maybe he didn’t know who to vote for, so he wanted to see what she was doing and copy it. Obviously, Twitter users had a lot to say about it.

Melania didn’t even vote; she just scrawled “Help Me” on her ballot.

See the problem with @realDonaldTrump copying Melania’s ballot is that Melania copied hers from Michelle Obama. pic.twitter.com/b95l3oTo6L

Wouldn't be surprised if Donald Trump was looking at Melania's ballot and saw her voting for Hillary Clinton… pic.twitter.com/YOLipFNPP2

Looks like some subtle voter intimidation as Trump eyeballs Melania's ballot to make sure she voted for him … pic.twitter.com/RuG3r8PdB7

As one Tweeter pointed out, Trump may have been in violation of election laws.
When you vote on #ElectionDay, remember election laws require us to respect the privacy of others: https://t.co/dwXtM3avWB pic.twitter.com/0lXFaWGztU
