Would this influence your vote? If so, how?

As long as I wasn't being run into with it, it wouldn't bother me.
 
Might be funny to watch if someone got stuck trying it, too.

Status: offline 		It has nothing to do with a "dress code."  It isn't about clothing styles.  It's has to do with electioneering at a polling place.  Now, I'm sure that wasn't the intent of the lady mentioned in the article.  But it has nothing to do with her intentions; it has to do with the Pandora's Box that could be opened by allowing things like that.

I'll give you some hypothetical examples.  Suppose some overzealous group decide to all show up at the polling place to vote in mass.  All of them wear clothing with pictures of Obama dressed in a turban, superimposed over a picture of the WTC towers burning.  Suppose another group gets the same idea and shows up wearing T-shirts depicting McCain riding a nuclear missle with a cowboy hat on.  How about a t-shirt showing Obama taking a shit on the American flag, or one of McCain fucking Uncle Sam in the ass? 

Do you get it now?

Kim,
Listen closely please.  What is has "to do with the question" is this:  It is illegal to have campaign ads within so many feet of a polling place.  If a lady wears an "Obama" (or a "McCain") shirt INTO the polling place, she has just worn in a...stay with me here....campaign ad.  As those are illegal, she has just apparently done something illegal.  See what slaveboy is saying?................luci

Voter turnout might go up. 

Obviously, a t-shirt is an endorsement of a candidate and shouldn't be permitted.

I’m not disputing any laws that are in place. My interest on the topic has to do with the reasoning of the election officials.
 
I was just wondering if their opinions on the subject were accurate.

It's not the point.  The point is....it's illegal.  Can you stay with that concept.  That is the reason it is not allowed.  And...I'm sure there are some people in this world that can't think for themselves who would be influenced by that.

Personally - I'd love to see any of those 4.  Though not at the polling place specifically.  (Wonder how much they're selling for... the tshirts, not the polling places... lol)

Status: offline 		i think as long as the shirts are tasteful, discreet and the wearers are not causing a ruckus there should not be a problem. as long as they arent causing trouble with the other voters...though i would like to do that for the chance to stand around in my bra in public because the government made me....

How is it that the question in the OP is not the point of the thread? I wasn't disputing legality.
 
I was only asking if it would influence peoples (I meant voting, not vote), such as the article suggests.
