Generally speaking, the constitution’s first amendment allows you to wear whatever you want while you vote, including maga stuff, but after you vote, you have to leave the immediate voting area. So the order to remove the maga stuff is likely illegal.
To further back you up.
No stories of Harris supporters having to remove their Harris hats or t shirts

You can wear your MAGA gear.
Your hi viz vest.
Your Peanut t-shirt.
No general about it. SCOTUS ruled in 2018 that voters may wear whatever they want, including MAGA gear.
They tried and failed to prevent her vote.
I wore a MAGA hat and shirt to vote.
“So the order to remove the maga stuff is likely illegal.”
Just another local rule that no one wants to ague about. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which makes it illegal to discriminate against a person on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity), or national origin. Clothing is not covered in the first and should not be a criteria to allow a citizen to vote.
Besides, if I wear a gozilla shirt in to vote is that going to scare people into not voting? Additionally, if someone wants to sit and not make any commotion or act in a way that can impede the voting process of another voter, then they are not outside of their rights and/or privileges of seeing the voting process work. All kinds of manure on this one.
