I don't know what difference it makes. If you go to the polls not knowing who you are going to vote for and then make a decision based on someone's T shirt, well maybe you shouldn't be voting.
It's a great way to keep down evidence of polling site mismanagement.I actually was not aware of the anti phone rule.

My understanding was you couldn't use a cell phone at the booth, not that it had to be turned off. I didn't use my cell phone, it remained on my belt loop and I didn't answer. So I guess I was legal, nobody said anything.rotor,
As a PRESIDING JUDGE I could care less if you have a concealed handgun (except of course at a school or courthouse or other sort of place, where carrying a handgun is PROHIBITED by LAW) but having a functioning phone or a camera is NOT allowed at the polls & is PROHIBITED.
Note: I am ALLOWED to carry a concealed handgun at the polls by DIRECTION of the TX Attorney General. - So far & HOPEFULLY forever being AT the polls is NOT hazardous enough to make me believe that I NEED to be armed to do my job.
(Fwiw, one of my EOs is a former offensive tackle for PVA&MU & NOBODY that I've met really wants to confront him OR to "cause trouble" at the polls.)

I make notes on my phone for voting. Too many candidates to remember especially when they dont have a R or D next to their name...I actually was not aware of the anti phone rule.
