So I got this e-mail forward saying that certain states have a law prohibiting campaign gear in the voting booth. The warning was that this law has been in place for a long time, but that it hasn't necessarily been enforced, though you can bet it will be enforced this November.
One article identifies the particular states as Delaware, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Vermont.
Anyone hear about this or have any experiences related to this?

You want to silence ME on ELECTION day!?!?!
Fuck you! 1st amendment right, on the most holy of days in a democracy! I'll sue your fucking pants off if you try anything.
Who is spreading this urban legends???
MG, fuck you and your 1st amendment right. The prevailing right over polling places is voter intimidation. You would have to learn some history about why this is an issue, but I digress.
I suggest you look into if your state will allow absentee voting, because you can do that in the comfort of your Colbert/Perot t-shirt.
It is state law almost everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if US Code has some sections dealing with campaigning in polls, and yes, Virginia your button with a name on it is "campaigning".
