After voting for his father on Election Day, Donald Trump’s son, Eric, broke the law by photographing his ballot and then tweeting the image.

Eric Trump’s tweet read: “It is an incredible honor to vote for my father. He will do such a great job for the USA,” but was quickly taken down from Twitter Tuesday.

New York does not allow photos in polling booths.

Before it was removed, The Verge took a screenshot of the illegal tweet.

Eric Trump’s latest petty crime is a throwback to when he was caught drinking lemonade from a free water cup at an In n’ Out Burger in October.
