Nevada election officials say voters dressed in chicken costumes won't be allowed inside polling places this year.

The chicken suits were added to the list of banned items Friday after weeks of Democratic ridicule directed at Republican Senate candidate Sue Lowden.

Lowden has suggested bartering with doctors for medical care, like when “our grandparents would bring a chicken to the doctor.” Democrats have set up a website, Chickens for Checkups...

I certainly know a lot of friends who have an unspoken barter between them for services. Such as doctors, lawyers, and businessmen who have boxes at sporting events...

I see nothing wrong with bartering to a limited extent

are panther costumes still okay though?

Only if they're Black Panthers carrying clubs to intimidate voters.

Voter intimidation is allowed if it benefits democrats. They are the pro-crime party, after all.

Bartering isn’t such a bad idea, and often old ways are better than new ways, as we old people like to say. I bartered fresh eggs my chickens laid for vet care for my cat thirty years ago. The vet was happy, I was happy, my cat was happy (well, sort of) .. what’s not to like? :-)

I’d love to see that.

The real question is whether they will allow someone to vote dressed as a Yeti. Probably not, because Harry Reid has been compared to the Yeti, and that is insulting the poor creature.

I know! I'll start a political party!



What do you mean? That's been done? Those guys? There is nothing cat-like about them. They are just street thugs. That sucks.

I am going to vote dressed up as a member of the non representative political elite.

My costume is rather gauche, a hairy rectum with legs.
