. My suggestion is to not wear anything when heading to the polls. What's important is to get your vote in!
While it'd would nice to see the women of SOL voting naked, I think we should encourage our women to be clothed when voting.
It would indeed!
Yeah let's make that campaign gear.

Taken from the Obama/Biden webpage.
It is not a violation of law for a voter to wear into the polling place a button, tee-shirt, hat or other article of clothing with a campaign message on it, so long as the voter leaves the polling place promptly after voting. No Challenger or Watcher may wear such campaign paraphernalia in the polling place. Election judges or any other person who is authorized to remain in or near a polling place for an extended period of time is prohibited from wearing political paraphernalia while inside the polling place.

A few days ago an email started circulating through the internet concerning election paraphernalia being worn on election day. The question regarding this was even addressed on Warren Ballentine's radio talk yesterday.
Being involved in voter registrations I did a little research on this myself. Federal law it seems states that T-shirts, hats and buttons can be worn as long as there is no politicking taking place. But the problem seems to be with state laws. Although most states have similar laws interpretation of those laws is the problem in particular when dealing with a police officer or election offical who may have a personal agenda or not know the laws.
Most states allow the wearing of political gear. However it's in everyone's best interest to avoid a situations that could prevent you from voting. My suggestion is to not wear any campagin gear when heading to the polls. What's important is to get your vote in!

I work at the polls and here in Louisiana it is strickly forbidden..Pollster will be asked to cover up the shirt or to turn it inside out. It is also a crime to poll within 500 feet of a poll place..The fine is $500 and 30 days in jail.
