I know it sucks but it's good that you at least voted provisionally. If you get any kind of receipt, etc, it can help if there's class actions following the election. Given the state of this election... there very well might be.

It is illegal to take a picture of your ballot in Florida FYI:

"(5) No photography is permitted in the polling room or early voting area."

It's also illegal to place an undue burden on somebody's constitutional right[1].

There is a good reason for this by the way. It is meant to prevent vote buying.

A lot of states have "track my ballot" systems in place for voters to ensure their votes were counted. Maybe try looking it up in your state.
