Conn. voters can wear WWE gear
Andy Barr – Wed Oct 27, 12:06 pm ET
Connecticut Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz says her office never tried to prohibit voters from wearing WWE apparel within 75 feet of a polling place.
Vince McMahon, head of the WWE and husband of Connecticut Republican Senate nominee Linda McMahon, filed a lawsuit earlier this week amid reports that the state would encourage election officials to cover up the wrestling federation’s logo if worn at polling places.
Last week, a spokesman for the secretary of state indicated that campaign workers may “cover up a hat, a shirt” bearing the WWE logo because the federation is so closely identified with McMahon.
Reports of the possibility that those sporting a WWE logo may have an issue at polling places set off the WWE and McMahon’s campaign, which charged that such a move would be “overtly partisan.”
But in a memo issued Tuesday, Bysiewicz clarified that state law would not prevent voters from wearing WWE apparel at the polls.
“This office has never issued a blanket prohibition or declaration prohibiting any particular type of apparel,” she wrote. “The only clothing, items or apparel prohibited by Section 9-236(a) are those that 'solicit' for or against a candidate or ballot question.”

Too sweeeett’. Dick Blumenthal can ‘suck it’. I could go on and on..
The good news: You can wear that “Wrestlemania” hoodie to the polls. The bad news? The New Black Panther Party goons blackguarding the polling places have orders to issue a beat down to anyone so attired.
WWE fans should go to the polls and if someone gets in their face about wearing a WWE shirt to a polling place they should say “You can’t see me”
Can they also slam a folding chair over someone’s head?
Does this mean Italians can dress up in dark suits&hats in front of all the Italian district precincts? Just to make sure everyone votes for Paladino?
Only if they're Democrats.
Because everyone knows that only union members can slam chairs over people’s head PROPERLY. :p
as opposed to that non-Italian Cuomo?
Good! A am looking forward to protecting myself with my concealed weapon when they attempt the beatdown.
once again, Bysiewicz is proving her gross incompetence. she was gonna run for reelection, then when Bickie-Blu decided to run for senate, tried to run for his position. she sued her own office to find out that she is unqualifiedd, and made herself a lauighingsstock.
here she goes again. brings new meanign to the word “dimwit”
. . .
Last week, a spokesman for the secretary of state indicated that campaign workers may “cover up a hat, a shirt” bearing the WWE logo because the federation is so closely identified with McMahon.
In other words, Connecticut Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz is a liar.
