Hey all! Working on lots of stuff with Republican John McCain’s visit (oh, and that little-known Alaskan governor who’s not so little known anymore), but I wanted to just give you a little update on this, from the Associated Press:
Voters who show up at the polls wearing campaign buttons or T-shirts should be allowed to cast ballots, the Pennsylvania Department of State has told county elections officials.
State elections Commissioner Chet Harhut said that, as long as a voter does not try to campaign in the polling place, his or her attire should not matter. Harhut’s position was outlined in a memo sent last week to county elections officials.
“Of primary concern is that no duly registered person be turned away at the polls,” Harhut said. “If the conduct and apparel of a voter is determined to be more than passive, it should be addressed by the district election officials.”
