I think your analogy is flawed if the description of the button in the article is accurate. Unlike your hypothetical SEIU Democrat button, is does not name a party affiliation or a candidate, for that matter. It was once a national symbol and, I believe, the first flag of the United States Marine Corps. It’s a far cry from electioneering which I agree should be banned from polling places. It’s apparently a case of an over-zealous poll worker, who if not identified and corrected, may wrongly deny the right to others as well.

I think you’re right, for just the reason you explained. I could have chosen a better hypothetical example.

On this we disagree. The poll worker did NOT deny the voter the right to vote. All they had to do was remove the damn button and then vote! It makes me mad when libtards speak of “disenfranchising” voters because they have no ID. Well, the argument that disallowing a voter to wear a Gadsden flag button is “disenfranchising” them or depriving them of their “free speech” is equally silly.
