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

Is the American flag a political item?

The Gadsden flag is a historical American flag with a yellow field depicting a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike. Positioned below the snake is the legend “DONT TREAD ON ME” . The flag was designed by and is named after American general and statesman Christopher Gadsden. It was also used by the United States Marine Corps as an early motto flag.

Considered one of the first flags of the United States, the flag was later replaced by the current Stars and Stripes (or Old Glory) flag. Since the Revolution, the flag has seen times of reintroduction as a symbol of American patriotism, a symbol of disagreement with government, or a symbol of support for civil liberties.

Your right on that...any one that didn’t vote because they refused to take off a button doesn’t deserve to vote. I have complained about people being too close to the polling place and have someone go out and tell them to move closer to the roadway and farther out of the parking lot....I didn’t care which political party it was....
