Voters in College Park 'Uncomfortable and Intimidated' by People Taking Photos

COLLEGE PARK, MD — Voters reported being "uncomfortable and intimidated" due to people taking too many pictures at a polling location at the University of Maryland in College Park, according to the Maryland State Board of Elections.

Tom Hausman, who identifies himself as a photo editor and concert photographer for the University of Maryland's student newspaper The Diamondback, complained on Twitter that officials at the Stamp Student Union location "tell me I can only take 'like ten or so pictures' despite being credentialed."

That prompted a response from the Maryland State Board of Election's official Twitter account at 11:37 a.m., which stated that the Prince George's County Board of Elections had "notified us of reports that voters were becoming uncomfortable and intimidated by people taking their pictures."
