I like it

[RS_Rider]

I was thinking about dragging an empty chair behind my truck to the polls.

[AmericanMade1776]

I like that idea, as long as it is just outside of the legal limits of campaign material at the polling place, and that distance varies by state.

[Jack Hydrazine]

The presstitutes will be all over that!

[G Larry]

If you eliminate the sign, you can place the chair closer.

[mountainlion]

There are often signs “NO POLLING within 100’” so you might not get within that limit with the sign. What can they do without a sign.

[Wings-n-Wind]

Pretty sure your local GOP folks will not agree--

Such objects are easily considered "electioneering" within the prescribed boundaries for the polling place...

Cool idea... wrong place...
jmho... no offense...

[C210N]

If I did that here, I’d be labeled racist.

But, then this is MA....

[glorgau]

No problem, just have a guy in fatigues, dreadlocks, and a beret, while wielding a billy club to guard it.

The Department of Justice will have no problem with that.

[Kirkwood]

Put a sign on the chair that says “Reserved for President Mitt Romney”.

[PLD]

I would think if the cockroach party can put their black panthers outside .voting station we could put an empty chair..

[mosaicwolf]

Do it. Just don’t put the POTUS sign on it. They will say it is some kind of campaign sign. Anyone that sees the empty chair will know what it is.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Well that would be blatantly illegal in most areas. Campaign signs; which this would essentially be; don't belong around polling places.

Good idea to put them anywhere else. Leave the electoral process alone however.

[Sir Napsalot]

Not in Philadelphia!

Those ‘Brothers’ will fix it for you....

[eartick]

I would think we could just all walk in, look around and just kinda say, “Look at all of these EMPTY CHAIRS”.....

[nitzy]

A better idea would be to go into the polling place under a false flag. There are bound to be several empty chairs around the polling location anyhow.

You could point out any empty chair that you see and complain to the officials that it is unfair electioneering obviously referring to the president. you could demand that any empty chairs either need to be occupied or removed.

[sam_paine]

might be electioneering

Think like a Cloward-Pivenite:

Walk in and demand to file a formal complaint for any empty chair you see in the polling place!

NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR! ELECTIONEERING! YOU PEOPLE ARE MOCKING OBAMA!

Stune their beebers hugely.

[LibWhacker]

I'm no lawyer, but I think you're treading dangerously close to something that is illegal. So, imo, the more abstract it is, the better. That way, you can still make sure it looks somewhat like an empty chair but retain your ability to deny that it is (however, please note, maybe not your ability to avoid associated legal fees), if you are subsequently charged with anything???... "Why, no, officer, it's just a piece of random trash that happens to be on my tailgate outside this polling place."

Since we don't see this sort of thing, ever, I assume election officials pretty much have a zero tolerance policy toward anything like it.

[Buckeye McFrog]

LOL! I’m picturing all the union hacks who are gonna go absolutely ape outside every polling place each time a poll watcher gets up from his chair to take a potty break.

[Grampa Dave]

First of all park your pickup truck away at least the required distance.

Put a battered and empty chair in the bed of the pickup. If you can find a Newsweak like this one, put it on the chair.
