How Do You Show Who You Support When You Go to Vote?

[PurgedVoter]

I wore a mask! Health precautions shouldn't be a political divide, but the stupid has made it so. It shouldn't be an issue, but it showed everyone who I was for!

I just voted, For Kamala and I voted against Cruz!

I will be buying a bottle of port to celebrate when we win!

[nclib]

1. I wore a peace shirt.

The woman taking my id said she liked my shirt.

[TBF]

2. Here in TX? I wear black.

Not joking. I guess you could wear blue or red, but any campaign items aren't allowed. Like you, I will be celebrating if we can get rid of Cruz.

[lees1975]

3. I wear a blue shirt.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

4. I like it

to be a secret.

[alittlelark]

5. Blue jeans, blue shirt and blue plaid flannel

[Tree Lady]

6. I was thinking of getting pink champagne

to celebrate. I hope we don't have to wait too many days.

I vote at ballot box, but I wear my Kamala tshirt all over the place. I bought before our road trip in September and had some great conversations. Best one in Tofino, BC with a group of young 20's girls Canadians who want her to win.

7. I'm the nervous type...

I live in a red area of a blue state and before I started voting by mail (what bliss!) I wore plainish, cheap-looking clothes and wanted those present to think I'd vote red, by the way I dressed. I voted blue across the board, of course and smiled all the way home.

[stopdiggin]

8. You don't. Voting is a private matter - not a campaign event. Leave your damned paraphernalia at home!

( and many jurisdictions have fairly strict rules enforcing ...... as is entirely correct for the safety and good order we all want to prevail at our voting place ) Wear your damned T-shirt or baseball cap to the movies, the mall, or a volleyball match ... Not the polls.

[Mister Ed]

9. Thank you. n/t

[electric_blue68]

12. Wow, that's kind of Harsh - posters a talking about (far as i can tell) About PLAIN Blue, or blue plaid clothing NOT...

Campaign T's or other stuff.

Shoot, here in NYC I think It's about a 200ft
perimeter from the voting site against campaign paraphernalia etc. 👍 I've seen those warning signs.

[stopdiggin]

15. yep. and if you're following the rules

(that have been in place for a reason, and like forever) - i.e. plain old good common sense - then we don't have a problem. And I don't think anyone is gong to have a problem (or probably even infer very much) from someone wearing a blue shirt. Unfortunately, good sense is not nearly the 'universal' that we would all like it to be. ( and, also unfortunately, that includes a decent slice of DU - who appear to find public skirmish either a duty, or a sport. ) But, yes - diatribe is directed at those that are wearing, or considering wearing, their political signs or slogans specifically to the polls.

[electric_blue68]

16. Got it 👍

[Deminpenn]

29. Exactly correct

Thank you

[LeftInTX]

10. Something decent enough for a selfie

I wore a blue and green plaid blouse. Posted about the wait time at the polling site.

I just wear whatever. Usually I don't take selfies.
I usually don't pay attention to what I'm wearing.

[onenote]

11. When asked if I want the repub sample ballot, I say no. And i carry the Democratic sample ballot openly.

[electric_blue68]

17. Wow, really?! Ive never been asked that.

[onenote]

18. Both parties set up tables in the parking lot outside the government center were I vote early and offer sample ballots

to voters before they enter. Same thing happens on election day at school where I would vote if I hadn't voted early in person.

[electric_blue68]

19. Ah, ok! Was thinking someone asked you inside the polling place.

In NYC decades back they'd have a copy of the whole ballot taped on the wall.

[Mossfern]

23. Are they the required distance

from the polls?

I don't understand how sample ballots in elections are different by party.
Even our primary ballots are all the same - although when you go to vote, you are asked which party you're voting for the Primary.

[onenote]

32. I'm guessing there is a required distance since they're not right outside the door, but in the parking lot.

And the sample ballot is identical -- but the Democrats hand out one showing the boxes marked for the Democratic candidates and for the other matters on the ballot, such as a constitutional amendment or a bond referendum that Democratic party has endorsed. And the repubs hand out the same ballot, but with their preferences marked.

13. I wore my Obama hat

All it says on it is "Obama". I got a few funny looks from a few poll workers, but no one said anything. He isn't running for anything so how could it be " electioneering"?

[onenote]

21. That suggests the poll worker who objected to a voter in a Let's Go Brandon hat was in the wrong.

[blogslug]

14. I dressed up and held my head high

BTW, I love port

[Emile]

20. I wore my Navy veteran cap.

[lrymcqueen]

22. I am wearing my Harris/Walz gear.

Its legal in Alabama.

From the FAQ's on Secretary of States website:

"Can I wear campaign buttons or t-shirts with political advertisements into the polling place?

Yes. However, you should not loiter or leave any campaign materials in the polling place."

I am wearing my t-shirt and my camo Harris/Walz hat. I usually wear my "Party of Traitors" t-shirt with the republican elephant and hammer and sickle but It has gotten ratty from so many Walmart trips.

[Bettie]

24. I'm just polite and don't act

like a total jackass.

When we were at the courthouse to do our early voting, I was standing in the doorway, waiting for a few people to clear and saw a guy and his wife who had just finished voting stop in front of the picture of Joe Biden hanging on the wall and the man had a full tantrum about "why is that guy's picture hanging there, he isn't the real president!!".

His wife eventually took him by the arm and dragged him out. Like a toddler. She looked embarrassed and I hope she voted for Kamala.

[0rganism]

25. I fill in the little bubble next to their names

Not much use for fashion statements or cosplay when your state does all vote-by-mail

[no_hypocrisy]

26. It depends on the state and its laws.

In NJ, wearing any clothing or paraphernalia is not allowed IN the polling place because it's considered electioneering. You can wear logos, etc. outside the polling place.

[Midnight Writer]

27. I just don't act like an asshole. I say please and thank you, smile at the clerks, and show respect for everyone.

In other words, I act like a liberal.

[GreenWave]

28. This place has some gear

[quakerboy]

30. I mean..

I feel like this just provides so many options.

Personally, i dont advertise anything if i can avoid it. But there are a million and one shirts that would send the message.

Any of the many "the dude abides" t's. The classic Luke fighting Vader. A nice silhouette of Han solo with "never tell me the odds". A Swift Era's T. A festive Elf shirt. Any of the multitude of Eminem shirts. And so so many more options.

[Tribetime]

31. Think Ill wear my blood donor shirt

[Vinca]

33. When I went to vote in the primary a wore a sterling silver cat pin. No one noticed, but I knew.
