Don't wear any campaign shirts, buttons, pins, or other identifying stuff when you go to vote. Appparently an old law regarding electioneering may be enforced for this election:
"Please advise everyone you know that they absolutely cannot go to the polls wearing any (candidate) shirts, pins, or hats. It's against the law and will be grounds to have the Polling Officials to turn you away. That is considered campaigning and no one can campaign within X amount of feet to the polls. They are banking on us being excited and not being aware of this long standing law that you can bet will be enforced this year.
They are banking that if you are turned away, you will not go home and change your clothes. Please just don't wear (candidate) gear of any sorts to the polls! Please share this information. Oh, and for those of you who were already aware, this was not meant to insult your intelligence, I am just trying to cover all angles.
I checked this out with the County Board of Election Commission and its true that it is a long-standing law, but not something just enforced this year. Mostly, what they would say is to take off the campaign button and turn the tee-shirt inside out in order to vote.
Mostly they do this to keep campaign volunteers outside and not interfering with the voting process. Sounds reasonable to me!"
