My wife caught some blurb on the local news about Shelley showing up at some polling places, saying it is illegal for a candidate to go into a polling place, etc.
I cannot find anything about this on the net. Did Shelley commit some sort of major faux pas?

You have to stay back a certain distance from a polling place to campaign. When I voted on Tuesday, there were clearly marked signs that said "no campaigning beyond this point"
There were plenty of campaign signs near the entrance to the parking lot however. I'm sure a candidate could stand there or even work the parking lot if they wanted as long as they stayed beyond the marked limit.

She went inside the polling place to use the restroom.

If she had legitimate business in the building or if she was voting there, she can enter the building. She cannot electioneer at the poll.
