HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Local election officials in Connecticut are being told they can ask people wearing World Wrestling Entertainment garb to cover that up while voting.

A spokesman for the secretary of the state's office says that's because Republican Senate candidate Linda McMahon is so closely associated with WWE, which she left to run for office.

If I lived in Connecticut I would proudly wear my WWE garb and if any of these leftist loons have a problem with it I’d go right up to their face and say “U CAN’T SEE ME”

No double standard here. This shirt ist verbotten, but Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee are allowed to do whatever they want in a polling place. The liberals of today disgust me as much as those of 1933-1945.

It’s OK. If you go dressed to the polls like a liberal a$$hole, you’ll be asked to cover up because you’ll appear to be endorsing Blumenthal.

Do a lot of Connecticut voters wear wrestling apparel to the polls?

Plan in place.

I'll have my wife wear a Empire State Building shirt while I wear a WEE shirt, if I hear a complaint I will challenge the workers.

"Dick Blumenthal and his family owns the Empire state building, if you won't let me vote with this shirt, she can't either."

Will they throw me out as a Blumenthal supporter if I dress up as a Dick?
