Jay-Z said, “who you gone tell we top of the totem pole” …in other words nothing will happen to B whether it’s illegal or not *kanye shrug*
LOL well obviously some judges don’t concur with Jay’Z’s theorem….because Bey and Jay CLEARLY lost the trademark battle against a small-business owner…..#JustSaying
Actually they didn’t. Idk why all the blogs reported that. They just can’t start up a party planning business, or whatever that lady was
^^exactly
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE A BETTER LOOK AT THE PHOTO, THAT IS A ABSENTEE BALLOT FOR HARRIS COUNTY TEXAS…NOT FOR NEW YORK!
well – that’s worse! It’s a felony in Texas lol
^^^^^THANK YOU :-)
Yes, but according to the chart Texas prohibits filming or photographs of vote markings as well…..in addition, I believe most states that prohibits filming or photographs of vote markings included ‘contents’ of ballots, and ABSENTEE BALLOTS are clearly CONTENTS of voting ballots. #JustSaying
That docuemnt which she has her hand over is not the ballot itself. It appears to be an affidavit which is included with the ballot.
Damn get over it. The outcome gonna be the same regardless. At least she voted.
P.S. I stared at that photo for 15 minutes and didn’t notice it was from Texas :)
