Is it illegal if I take a picture of my ballot of who I'm voting for?

I'm from Pennsylvania and I'm wondering if it would be illegal if I took a picture or video of who I voted for when I go to the polls and vote on Tuesday.

    Some states do make it illegal to take a picture of your ballot. I looked at a recent article from the New York Times, titled "What to Expect While Voting a Short Guide" which included a map of "ballot selfie" laws in the US. They list Pennsylvania as "unclear" but don't provide any more information on what that might mean.

    Some states have banned it.

    So you need to check with state officials.
