What difference does that make? There are so many things that are now "felonies" and they can declare anything they want to be a felony. Spitting on the sidewalk, or wearing your trousers too low could easily become felonies. How about posting anti-whatever articles or ranting against a tax law you don't like? they could become defined as "hate speech" and become felonies. A felony used to be reserved for only the worst, most despicable types of crimes. Now, anything can be a "felony".

It's likely better to just post a photo of your "I Voted" sticker or receipt.

I don't share your fear that "anything can be a felony". But, as to your question, "What difference does that make?", it makes a world of difference. Doing something illegal is not the same as being convicted of a felony.
