The article author's flawed assertion notwithstanding, the Supreme Court decided a major "electioneering" case in 1992 ( Burson v. Freeman http://mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/128/burson-v-freeman ) upholding Tennessee's 100 foot restriction.

And no, "Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Manksy" isn't about MAGA hats (which are clearly campaign-related and won't be suddenly allowed by the Supreme Court) but about more subtle speech (as the article notes the specific items in question were the: "Don’t Tread On Me” shirt and — “Please I.D. Me” button).
