I'm not 100% certain that this is correct, but better safe than sorry. We want to make sure that everybody has the chance the vote, so spread the word.

EDIT: this has been confirmed by a couple of people in the comments. Here is a link more information:

Googled, this is from the New York Civil Liberties Union in 2010: Can I wear a political t-shirt or button to the polls? The answer to this question has not been clearly resolved. But to be safe and avoid problems, we recommend that you wear a coat over your t-shirt and put political buttons in your pocket while at your polling place.
