Why is our side engaging in this? It’s clearly illegal and makes us look like cheating a-holes.

Should polling center staff remove their bumper stickers too?

"if there is a fetus that says 'save this child', then that's probably a political message." Find me the explicit endorsement of a candidate, party, or support/opposition to a specific piece of legislation in that "political message".

I agree. This may be the first and only time I ever say this
.but I have to side with the Montgomery County officials on this one although at first I thought it was Montgomery County MD, but regardless, inside the polling place is not the place to brandish any groups or companys logo, political or not and poll workers are supposed to be there only to ensure (hopefully) that the election laws are followed and assist voters getting in and out, etc. and are supposed to be neutral and non-partisan in their role as voluneteer election officials. They are not to solicit or answer questions about candidates or any issues or promote their personal cause.
And I would hope and would in fact insist it be dealt with the same if Planed Parenthood, NARAL, Code Pink, PETA or Moes Bar wanted to do the same thing it should not be allowed period.
When I go to the polls, even when I lived in very liberal Baltimore City, I never had any issue with any poll worker giving me a hard time because I have an R next to my name. Now campaign workers outside the polls, thats another thing
