The school that I teach in is a polling station. State law says that you cannot wear political articles of clothing or buttons or do any electioneering of any kind within several hundred feet of the door. I guess I will be wearing red that day too to try to send my own subliminal messages. Not that it matters, McCain wins Texas easily!

I believe there has been a judicial ruling that this “electioneering” thing only applies to individuals working the polls and not the voter. Voters (supposedly) are not to be barred from voting because they are wearing a campaign button, t-shirt, hat, etc. (as they have in the past). One can only presume that this does not allow individuals to just hang about the polling places with placards and campaign signs, however.

Yahoo for TX. My brothers and I share ownership in a condo in The Woodlands. I live on the Left Coast.
Yes. I know you are not to wear any campaign sort of stuff but I figured red would be good and my American Flag..it’s a dandy similar to the one Sara Palin wears..had it for years. Also got earrings but they are a tad heavy so use them on the 4th of July as pins.
