The presidential debate moderators will not be allowed to wear earpieces, according to published reports.
But what about the presidential candidates themselves?
A voter in Maryland wrote Federal Elections Commissioner Matthew Petersen on Sept. 8 seeking a "clear response" to that question.
"I read reports that during the televised event questioning each of the candidates on their qualifications to serve as Commander in Chief, that Secretary Clinton had a microphone in her ear to receive prompting and guidance from advisers off stage," wrote Laurence B of Columbia, MD.
[A check of his name and address at the Maryland State Board of Elections Internet site verified the writer's identity as a registered voter.]
"Surely this is a more serious violation of competition than the doping which the Olympics have had to clean up. ... Can you please confirm that your commission will take conclusive steps to ensure that no such cheating takes place during the debates?" the letter concluded.
When he received no response to his letter, he wrote again on Sept. 21: "I've got to say I'm really discouraged not to have received a confirmation from you or from your office that your policy will be to disallow the two candidates to wear ear microphones. Am I to interpret your lack of a response to mean that such behavior will, indeed be accepted?"

Do I care if the freakin moderator has one? I don’t think so....
If they will not bar ear-mics on the debaters we have cheating. RAISE HELL!
Wow, I was sooooo worried the MODERATORS might be able to wear one, huh..?
HAhahahhaha..!
Are these people living on a different PLANET..?
And THAT is why I think HIllary’s people advanced that claim a week ago about Hillary having “surgery in her left ear”:
It’s a cover story when people tomorrow start screaming about something in her ear:
“Oh gawd, u guys have been watching X-files too much..!” She had SURGERY.
And as with everything Illary, it’s a LIE.
I trust Trump and Bannon to be on top of jamming any signals to ear devices.
Just the thought sends me to the floor LOL!
Putting a mic in your ear doesn’t sound very effective.
Also raise hell that the set is decorated in cobalt Parkinson’s blue to cut back on her seizures
Trump should ask for a closeup of his ears. Let cankles follow or not, the damage has been done.
Trump should wear a very conspicuous one. It needn’t do anything, other than get the Press to make fools of themselves again.
The Trump team could hijack it with messages from Pepe, the frog of Hillary's paranoia.
Trump should wear a red outfit
Putting a mic in your ear doesnt sound very effective.
I agree. It would be difficult to coordinate everything and would make her look confused. She’ll be such a mess, anyway.
Do you remember the devil costume many wore to her book signings when she was First Lady? Talk about feeding her paranoia!
Yeah, what kind of weak rules are these?
Betcha there’s nothing about body doubles or cyborg clones either.
...never mind
Sees to me these things would be easy to jam... Even if they were spread spectrum.
Yeah, what about the candidates? Giving Hillary a free pass here??? Unbelievable.
And what's wrong with giving Granny Pickles a little extra help from one of these when she obviously needs it?
I am sure Trump has people ready to go to deal with Hillary’s earpieces.
Yeah, shes gonna be wearing two. In case one goes.
