A poll worker is accused of refusing to let a military vet vote in Lake Forest.

Former Army veteran John Reader says an older man with a beard and a Hawaiian shirt told him a flag on his t-shirt was a “symbol of hatred” and was prohibited in a polling place.

“I was standing here waiting to vote, and a gentleman…said this flag was an item of protest and symbol of hatred,” Reader said. “I clearly explained it was an American flag, he said it’s not in color, I was not allowed to wear it.

“He wouldn’t let me vote unless I turned my shirt inside out, which I refused to do,” added Reader.

Witnesses say the man – only identified as “Bill” – accused Reader of supporting President Donald Trump

...an older man with a beard and a Hawaiian shirt told him a flag on his t-shirt was a “symbol of hatred”...so the flag of the country which authorizes and requires the election where this occurs is a symbol of hatred - how do psychotics get jobs as poll-watchers?.....
