I got this email from my little sis, and was just curious whether it's true or not.

This is IMPORTANT. Please share with others.


Please, please, please advise everyone you know that they absolutely can NOT go to the20polls wearing any Obama (or whoever you are voting for) shirts, pins, hats, etc. It is AGAINST THE LAW and will be grounds to have the polling officials to turn you away. This is considered campaigning and no one can campaign within X amount of feet of the polls. They are banking on us being overly excited and not being aware o f 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 and return to the polls to vote. Please just don't wear ANY gear of any sorts to the polls! Please share this information with as many people as you can. If you are already aware of this, please don't take it as insulting your intelligence.

Have a great day and see you at the polls on November 4th.
 
Yes, it is. It is considered "electioneering" if you where campaign gear within 100 feet of the polls. Most polling places don't enforce this, but I guess it seems to be an issue *this* election.
 
It is true. You can't wear any political tee shirts, hats, pins, etc. They don't want you to influence other people at the polls. It's not just Obama, its John McCain too. It's been that way for as long as I can remember. Democrat for McCain/Palin 2008.
 
Tell McChicken the show must go on Friday!
