Voting 2020 — Wear the Mask, Skip the Shirt

[Bicycle Bill]

When a woman entered a New Hampshire gym serving as a polling place Tuesday afternoon wearing a “McCain Hero, Trump Zero” T-shirt, Paul Scafidi knew he had to step in.  Election laws prohibit campaigning in polling places, which includes shirts promoting or denigrating a candidate on the ballot, the New Hampshire Union Leader reported.  Scafidi, a town moderator in Exeter, told the woman she couldn’t vote while wearing the T-shirt, Seacoast Online reported.

The woman asked if Scafidi wanted her to take off the shirt.  “Boom! The shirt’s off, and she’s standing there saying, ‘How’s this?’ ” Scafidi said, as reported in the New Hampshire Union Leader.

The woman proceeded to cast her ballot while topless, then put the shirt back on and left.  Scafidi said few other voters were present, and there were no children.

“I think we all kind of needed it,” said voter Andrea Shine, the New Hampshire Union Leader reported.  “With everything going on in the world, it’s like, who cares?”

Good way to up voter turnout, at least among the male population.

I certainly hope they are forcing the removal of maga hats as well. But those wearing the red hats are not the ones targeted for voter suppression.

Amusing; although it could be said that because neither Trump nor McCain were on the ballot - and in fact both Republicans - the T-shirt was legitimate commentary rather than electioneering.
