Dress Code For Voting? »
Posted By TimALoftis 1 month, 2 weeks ago in PoliticsHARRISBURG, Pa. (Oct. 4) - Sue Nace thought election volunteers were joking when they told her she would have to remove her T-shirt to vote in the presidential primary last spring.
But it was no laughing matter to the poll workers-turned-fashion police, who said Nace's Obama shirt was inappropriate electioneering — and made her cover the writing before casting a ballot.
Now, a political fight over what voters can wear to the polls is headed to court in Pennsylvania — with the Republican Party favoring a dress code and Democrats opposed.

It is what is written on their clothing within a certain distance of the polling place that is not allowed.

"My question is what will they tell all those male Obama voters who walk in with their pants below their asses--i.e., their "obumma""

It's illegal. Or at least it is in all the states I've voted in in the past and present. Any kind of party affiliation or political message that endorses in any way one candidate over another isn't allowed within 100 yards of a polling place.

Makes sense.
If the law's already in place, though, why do we need another? Do as the GOP always says and enforce the laws we already have.

Yup, the law is the law, and there's not a hell of a lot the poll workers can do except enforce it. They don't make the rules.

Electioneering is against the law here within 100 feet of the polling place. Wearing a t-shirt and/or button favoring a candidate is "electioneering". For a poll worker it is simply intolerable.

A poll worker wearing buttons or clothing favoring their candidate???? You have GOT to be kidding!!! No wonder the democraps are against the proposal to ban it altogether as they appeal to the sub-prime IQ quotient anyway that are easily influenced. Doh !!

To Vote: You must be at least 18 years old, have no felony convictions and be a US Citizen. Dress code!?!? If the male members of the Republican party want to wear a dress to their polling place it's OK by me. Hey, be yourself.

Geez! It's not like they are voting in their birthday suits!

But anybody who was wearing a button or t-shirt promoting a candidate could be construed as "electioneering" and be asked to take it off before entering a poll site. -

Lets say we allow tee shirts for Obama,,and McCain inside the polling place.Then we could have a contest to see who can fashion the largest banners over the doors,who could rent the biggest truck depicting the candidates pictures,and rhetoric.In other words we could go from our precious secret ballot to a circus atmosphere where adults turn in to clildren,and get into my guy can beat your guy.That my young stupid friends is the end of traditional elections,and the begging of anarchy .
