Interesting, considering we have already seen FLOTUS electioneering inside a polling place.

and everybody knows about the Black Panther case. Now people are being turned away simply for being associated with the Tea Party.

In 2008 millions & millions voted with Obama clothing on.

If voters are wearing the Muslim Messiah’s face on a button, would they be allowed to vote? If so, the feces should hit the fan!!!

It’s fine not to allow buttons in a polling place, as long as it’s enforced evenly. Polling places are supposed to be free of ALL electioneering. Yeah, Shelly O was wrong too, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay for Mrs. Gadsden to push the envelope.

I’d be pissed if I saw someone in a polling place wearing a button that said “SEIU Supports Democrats” (for example).

Take your “flare” OFF — go in and VOTE — and then put it back on.

It’s stupid and counterproductive to make an issue about this.

I don’t think you are supposed to wear political items to a polling place.

The First Lady can encourage others to vote for her guys, why can’t this woman wear a pin?

Such is life in Obamaland.

As long as it is evenly enforced, I fail to see the problem. I’ve seen people wearing blatant Dem propaganda being turned away at my local polls, too.

I suppose wearing this is out of the question then:


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I gave blood once and was wearing the little “I gave blood” sticker they give you. I then went to vote and they challenged the sticker! I explained what it was, they explained back that they contest ALL buttons & stickers.

They did let me vote.

I’ve had to take off my badge for work and a masonic pin before when I voted. I think a lot of polling places are pretty strict with enforcement across the board, almost to a fault.

My mom was still a registered Democrat (local CT races) back in 1980. She did have a Reagan button on her coat. She went to the ‘80 primaryto vote “Uncommitted” (Carter/Kennedy/Brown) and forgot about the button. Officials made her remove the button even though Reagan wasn’t on the ballot.

EASY ... take off the pin ... stick it in your pocket ... Vote ... go outside and put it back on.

sheesh... It’s not like they were asking if you were a U.S. Citizen or for ID or how many times you had Voted that day or somthing

The Gadsen flag is part of American history just as much as the Betsy Ross’ flag.

I just remembered that I have Voted in Uniform many times... (I have a few badges... and no one gave me any lip) but it was in a Military Town.

I look forward to the day that a Blank Panther with a nightstick is any where near me at any time of the day or night any place on this planet for any reason what so ever ... don’t think I will record that encounter for my memoirs

On a side note, I voted early this morning and there were more people than any election I have ever voted, with about 20 voting machines! I had to stand in line and when I left, the line was even longer (9:00 am).

Bad news is that they have far more early voting locations in the Democrats' areas of San Antonio than the Republican strongholds. I plan to complain about this after the elections. I was just glad to see the lines today. It was uplifting!
