Holy shit, I didn't notice it was JD Vance that tweeted at first. I thought someone retweeted it as a joke, but he clearly meant it when he said "what a patriot." Also, this is fucking real, I just checked his Twitter and while the retweeted post has been removed his post is still up. This guy sucks sooooooo fucking hard.
I think this happened in Texas. It's literally the law that you can't wear any clothes that endorse a candidate into a polling location. This goes for Democrats as well. Trump supporters just want to be victims.
I voted early this weekend and only one person was wearing any merch. There were no signs that I saw saying you couldn’t, but it was like everyone treated voting as important, a duty they were fulfilling, not as an opportunity to show off their allegiances. One guess as to who the merch wearer was supporting. Hint: no one wanted to talk to them.
It's about preventing people from influencing voters within the polling area. People hawking a candidate have to stay not only outside but a certain distance from the designated space, and aren't permitted to bring their paraphernalia in. Had one years ago who kept a jacket handy and would put it over his candidate shirt to come in and see how many voters we'd had (which they are allowed to ask - anyone can! How many voted is fine, who they voted for is not).
See, I didn't read the name at first and thought it was a scathing sarcastic call-out of the blatant disrespect for the country, its institutions, and its people. Then I saw the name, and fucking hell...
Man, I am currently reading Hillbilly elegy by Vance and I just can't imagine how this is the same dude - he seems intelligent, sane and emotionally well-developed person in the book (and I don't feel it's ghost-written or anything). It just makes me sad man.
Imagine associating with this MAGA political party that thinks your wife is a "street shitter". Seriously, how can you put your own wife through that? They aren't going away and they are doubling down on him for marrying a non-white. This is just getting started.
Walz so much as makes a hand gesture that from a certain angle looks like a middle finger and they say hes unqualified. Vance cheers on blatent violation of election laws and they all drop to their knees for him.
Honestly the whole wearing political merch thing is so strange to me as an outsider, like the thought of anyone wearing a fucking Simon Harris shirt is unthinkable (because he's a cunt, but also it would be weird)
I'm not talking about the rule, I'm talking about the idea of wearing political merch at all, I'm not saying it's not done, but the thought of seeing anything like that in Ireland would be so fuckig weird. Politicians shouldn't have fans
Yeah I've never seen a politician that I liked enough to buy so much as a sticker promoting. All the people who put up signs, and flags, and bumper stickers? Or wear shirts and hats? Nah bro. Weird as crap.
No. Anything that is meant to influence voters, such as a political ad, is forbidden. Clothing with the name of candidate is considered a political ad.
That ~can~ also happen here, but not inside the polling place. Every state has different rules as to how far from the doors you’re allowed to “electioneer”.
Exactly. I wore my Harris ballcap to the edge of the parking lot, then took it off and put my siesta key ballcap on until I was done boring and out of the building. Coz I'm not an ASSHOLE who thinks the rules don't apply to me.
Yeah, I was a poll worker for a few years, and it was ALWAYS the republicans who would attempts electioneering like this, or throw a fit over not understanding how election rules work (one primary I worked was dem only, no republicans were primarying, and the number of “you’re trying to keep me from voting!” assholes I had to deal with…)
Are you going to vote for adults who will act rationally and logically, or children who only want to make sure the people they hate don't get what they want?

dogboybastard
It's a federal law, the VP candidate, the one running with the guy he said is America's Hitler, doesn't know nor care about Federal Law.....
BriefcaseTacos
No, it's only a federal law for the poll workers. What voters can and can't wear is up to the state governments. Take a look at Florida.
AttentionDeficitHyperDepression
It'd be off-brand if he did
nimdae
It’s state law for voters. Many states have electioneering laws.

Why no political merch?
Are they trying to keep politics out of elections?

Dasnekones
That public stunt probably swayed some people there to vote Democrat. Not many, but it would have outweighed her own vote at the very least.

I don't understand anyone that wears political merch, it's tacky, and treating a political party like your favourite sports team is just silly.
ionicseraph
Reading the tweet before reading the name, one could almost make the mistake of thinking this was sarcasm. Instead it's just more stupidity

A man in Texas was apparently arrested when he punched a poll worker who told him to remove his MAGA hat.

How come no political merch? concerns about influencing votes?
FaerieWalnut
Pretty sure it's about how voting has to be anonymous.
Tuidjy
No. Anything that is meant to influence voters, such as a political ad, is forbidden. Clothing with the name of candidate is considered a political ad.

Huh, ok. In Australia we have to walk through people handing out leaflets to get to our voting booths. I don't much like it.
ChromaticAberrations
That ~can~ also happen here, but not inside the polling place. Every state has different rules as to how far from the doors you’re allowed to “electioneer”.

What they fail to understand is all the Harris paraphernalia is also not allowed. But you don't see Dems losing their shit about it.
MadamPuddifoot
Exactly. I wore my Harris ballcap to the edge of the parking lot, then took it off and put my siesta key ballcap on until I was done boring and out of the building. Coz I'm not an ASSHOLE who thinks the rules don't apply to me.
