the polling place, this is perfectly permissible.

...or is that what you heard from the internet outrage machine?

Certainly Clinton was never punished for campaigning inside the 100 foot barrier, but the right wing always resorts to calling him "Slick Willy" to explain away their meritless accusations.

Bill Clinton was outside the barrier:

of Bill actually inside a Mass polling place.

The still I posted was taken from the video that people were using here as proof that Clinton was "campaigning" with a bullhorn inside a polling place in Massachusetts a couple months ago. You saying that Clinton was using that bullhorn inside the building is the most absurd and laughable accusation yet.

Other than that, there's no law that prevents anyone from walking into a voting precinct. Free country, remember? Still, he never went inside and yelled at people with a megaphone. Try picturing such a stunt as the ex president held up a bullhorn and blasted people standing a couple feet away trying to vote. That doesn't even work in your dreams.

I'm sorry you hate Hillary so much, but let's say my bias causes me to see Bill Clinton adhering to election laws in this image, while yours sees him on the other side of the tape, breaking laws for which he mysteriously wasn't charged. It's like that blue/gold dress.

this was a rule we enforced regularly in every election. To prevent voter disenfranchisement we suggested that those wearing merchandise with the candidates name turn their shirts inside out while voting. Electioneering is not allowed.

Reminds me of when "ladies" were not supposed to wear pantsuits. Some snotty restaurant wanted to refuse service to such a person "No pants allowed for ladies" so she took them off

was about the length of a micro mini dress. Who was it? She was someone famous.

You're right, but I can't remember who.

men

and I remember how hideous the early pantsuits were---all polyester and top and bottom the same color...

That also includes T shirts with Levy signs on them.

No electioneering within 100 feet of the Polls. We had to send people out. Also, some people crowd in close to the Polls to pass out pamphlets. We ran them off.

The Republican captain let a candidate set up a sound truck across the street. I think I was the third inspector they sent out to shoo them off because the R captain was standing in the middle of the street chatting them up and he was a very assertive guy. I made them move back to the marked boundaries where electioneering was allowed. They continued to another precinct.

I am a precinct inspector here and that rule is enforced, and discussed in training sessions.

Thanks for putting it out there!

….I showed up with a Hillary button. I don't have anything like that and would be hard pressed to wear it—but I wonder.

Bernie supporters should station themselves at polling places and be ready to hand out safety pins and sheets of paper or something like that, that can quickly cover Bernie gear for the duration of the vote taking place.

That is the law. Too many over eager backers.

It's considered electioneering and has to stay 100 yards away.

...I would call the election board and find out for sure. And if it is true, you might ask them why they haven't blasted this info out to the general public. Is there such a thing as PSA's (Public Service Announcements) anymore?

No electioneering within 100 feet of the polling place.

I'd still call, though. Because by-damn, I like my Bernie duds.

§ 5–204 ELECTION LAW
8.
The inspectors shall act as a board and a majority of them shall decide questions.
9.
While the polls are open no person shall do any electioneering
within the polling place, or within a one hundred foot radial measured from the entrances, designated by the inspectors
of election, to a building where the registration is being conducted. No political banner, poster or placard shall be allowed in or upon the place of registration during any day of registration. Where an oath is required or permitted by this article at any meeting for registration, any inspector may administer it. The inspectors, and each of them, shall preserve good order within and around the place of registration and keep access thereto unobstructed. The board or any member thereof by order in writing may direct the arrest of any person refusing to obey the lawful commands of the inspectors, or guilty of disorderly conduct disturbing their proceedings, or violating, or attempting to violate, any of the provisions of this chapter. Any police officer or peace officer, who is acting pursuant to his special duties, or any person designated by the board shall execute the order.
10.
Persons entitled to register who are on line, or in the polling place, at or before the time fixed by law for closing of registration, shall be allowed to register.

Electioneering laws in MO and Il
In Missouri, no item endorsing a candidate or issue may be brought within 25 feet of a polling place. That includes shirts, buttons, hats, stickers or any other wearable item that a voter might have on while going to vote.

If someone is wearing one of these items into a polling place, he or she will be asked to remove it or to make sure a shirt's endorsement is not visible -- either by turning the shirt inside out or by covering it with a jacket.

Again why don't Bernie supporters think these laws pertain to them?

It was to stop harassment of voters going into the polls.

And there were signs outside the locations clearly stating NO campaigning within 100 ft and that meant clothing, etc

needing clarification, please and Thanks

Why would anyone believe such garbage?

Here is where I posted a link to the NY law: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1068&pid=22036

It's like telling the officer who is giving you a ticket that you were ignorant of the law. It doesn't work that way.

to wear a shirt with birds on it.

I generally vote in my pajamas.

Just sayin. So I'm more comfortable than pajamas

Unless they're very stubborn anyway.

If someone shows up wearing a candidate's t-shirt, they can simple cover it with an outer
garment or turn it inside out. Buttons can be removed while voting and hats stuffed into pockets. There is no conspiracy to undermine any one candidate.

Like everything on the internet, this issue is being blown out of proportion by the over zealous foil hat crowd.

3See N.Y. ELEC. LAW § 8-104 (2005) 1. While the polls are open. . . no political banner, button, poster
or placard shall be allowed in or upon the polling place or within such one hundred foot radial


So on that note, wear the t-shirt , button, or whatever in spirit......................................


Honk------------------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016

A few years ago there was a candidate running for either County clerk or county board I can't remember with the Last name Pizza. I wonder what would happen if someone working the polls order pizza for lunch would they have had to cover up the box?



ETA: seriously though, it is a good idea not to wear any campaign attire to the polls & if someone asks you to turn it inside out just do it and don't make a scene because every vote counts and we don't need people being banned from the location.

And in all states.

Wear the plain stuff and dance happy in your Bernie attire afterwords!

wonder about the voting machines.

and electioneering is not allowed. Where have you been? It's not a conspiracy, it's been the law in most states for a very long time. And no, I wouldn't start complaining about the voting machines.

have such laws. Ny maine montana vermont virginia and kansas. This is hardly most. I agree it isn't new in NY but it's said to be rarely enforced. If they only do it to Sanders supporters I hope there will be Hell to pay. I am increasingly becoming totally disgusted with this broken so called system that is set up to not give a flying fuck about the vast majority of us.

As Texas I have worked elections on both states.

That should solve it.
