      Unfortunately he only got arrested after he voted. I guess the silver lining is that that’s probably the last time he’ll get to vote if convicted.

    Wearing clothing in support of political candidates within polling locations is illegal in Texas.

    this looks logical on paper, but is absolutely fucking stupid in practice. poll workers already have to watch out for a million things without having to enforce some dress code that fucking obviously trump supporters are going to ignore, and when minimum wage election workers go to enforce this dumb rule, of course the troompa loompas are going to be painted as victims by fox news

      So, are you arguing that we should let trump supporters violate the laws so we don’t upset them?

        Unless you want to have someone with the right equipment and training to deal with those escalations, he’s right.

        Unfortunately, the cops are wearing the Trump clothing.

        i’m saying the law is stupid and was created deliberately to cause more problems for election workers, because if you’re not painfully aware of the fact that one of trump supporters’ core purposes for existence is to flaunt their culty trumpishness, then i don’t know what to tell you.

        i am an election worker. yesterday i had someone come in with a “I’M VOTING FOR THE FELON” shirt. i can’t speak for everyone, but if it was part of my job to turn people away because they’re not following some ridiculous dress code, i’d be putting in my 2 seconds notice.

        it’s not about “following the rules” it’s about the rule is fucking stupid and intentionally created to cause conflict in a place with enough of that shit already
