I commented this somewhere below, but it also applies here:
Would this allow you to prove to someone else how you voted in the election? If so, that's not a desired property.
Currently there is no way for you to prove, to yourself or someone else, who you voted for in an election because nobody gets to see your ballot and you cannot take a photo. This makes vote buying and coercion much more difficult. I'd like our voting system to keep this feature.

Yes. http://www.king5.com/article/news/politics/ballot-selfies-states-where-theyre-legal/281-345708142 http://www.king5.com/article/news/politics/ballot-selfies-st...
