North Carolina information incorrect. Please see N.C.G.S. 163-166.3(b): “Photographing Voters Prohibited. – No person shall photograph, videotape, or otherwise record the image of any voter within the voting enclosure, except with the permission of both the voter and the chief judge of the precinct. If the voter is a candidate, only the permission of the voter is required. This subsection shall also apply to one‑stop sites under G.S. 163‑227.2.”

CA
No person shall, with the intent of dissuading another person from voting, within 100 feet of a polling place, do any of the following: (3) Photograph, videotape, or otherwise record a voter entering or exiting a polling place

Emphasis on “with the intent of dissuading”, photography is legel so long as you do not do so with the intent of dissuading someone from voting
