If some one is so weak minded that their opinion is swayed AT THE POLLS BY A FRICKIN T-SHIRT!! then they shouldn't be voting. |
Actually, Rick, it is known fact that you cannot campaign within a certain number of feet of a polling place. Seriously, look how far from the doors the LAST signs you can see are... Wearing a shirt that supports your candidate is seen as "campaigning," and why would it not? Imagine you bumped into an undecided who questioned you and your conversation swayed them to, or (in RJF's case) against your candidate of choice. Congratulations, you've now campaigned where you should not have.
I have been getting emails and texts for weeks not to do that, but I do not own an Obama shirt, and no one at the polling station knew I was going to write in Samuel L Jackson when I had on my Pulp Fiction shirt friday.
