Better red than dead
Walrus

Posted on 10/31/2018 2:16:11 PM PDT by Walrus

I am wearing red when I go to the polls on Tuesday, just to scare the beejeezus out of the Dems.

We're not allowed to wear campaign materials at the polling place, but there's not an awful lot they can do about my wardrobe choices, heh-heh.

MAGA!

Wear red underwear and socks just to give yourself another laugh.

I don’t own any real red clothing. But is face painting legal?

Maybe you could just think of something really embarrassing?

If some Dim loon complains about campaigning in the voting are, just tell her you’re a Crip (or is it Bloods who wear red? They’re both so 80s, anyway.)

I’m thinking let the dems (real reds) think that they have a wave of red clothing out there, and that will hit them extra hard when they lose big time.

In Florida You can wear anything you like if you are not “working at” the polling location. That means MAGA hats and #Walkaway T-shirts are welcome.

Also:

The Supreme Court ruled in a 7-2 decision Thursday that a law in Minnesota banning political attire at polling places violates the First Amendment, The Hill reports. The case stems from elections in 2010, when state officials initially prevented a voter in a Tea Party shirt from casting a ballot due to a 1912 state law prohibiting “political insignia” at polling places.

Not in Texas. A man behind me was told to remove his MAGA hat when we were about 15 feet from the door. Then we were told to discontinue our political talk because we were offending others in line.

“We’re not allowed to wear campaign materials at the polling place,”


The restriction on wearing campaign materials at a polling place is, itself, very limited: https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/392339-supreme-court-polling-place-dress-code-decision-is-victory-for-free-speech

I thought I just read something last week about the SCOTUS said that people can wear whatever they want to the polls, overturned restrictions. ??

But I might be wrong, and cannot research right now.

As Ndorfin said, the Supreme Court has ruled on this. Carry a copy of the news article or the whole SCOTUS decision when you go to vote, wear a MAGA hat with Trump jacket, and take your time voting.

Remove a MAGA Hat? Is there a MAGA Political Party on the Ballot?

Stop discussing Politics while in line because others might be offended?

No First Amendment Rights allowed at the Polls? I must have missed the Memo.
