42. In Ohio, there are warnings about wearing politcal things

You are supposed to either take the things off, or conceal them, and you aren't supposed to display signs within a certain distance of the entry. If you wear anything, and somebody notices, they'll make you take it off or conceal it before you get to vote.

When I went to my polling place the last few times, I did wear a plain light blue shirt. And my husband would wear his navy blue sweat shirt.

Where I live, wearing my mask will be pretty much a tipoff. But F'em anyway. dameatball Sep 2020 #1
You could tell them you currently HAVE COVID and that's the only reason you're wearing one. Nevilledog Sep 2020 #3
Oh I don't know about that one. If you have covid you aren't supposed to be out in public Thekaspervote Sep 2020 #5
Then a person should go all in and wear the Confederate flag somewhere on them. Nevilledog Sep 2020 #10
Well, yeah. But wouldn't that get YOU pulled out of line? Texin Sep 2020 #35
So fortunately, both red and blue voters have been wearing masks Hortensis Sep 2020 #76
