What is and isn't allowed at the polls, may surprise you
Regardless of what you may think of this rule, please remember and remind others that, in many states, there is no campaigning (t-shirts, buttons, signs, etc.) within 100 feet of polling sites – you will be turned away. Become informed and avoid any trouble at the polling places.
One woman from New Mexico, wearing an Obama t-shirt, was turned away from an early voting site, able to return only after turning her t-shirt inside out.
You aren’t allowed to parade your political affiliation; something considered a disturbance, however, as referenced in the video, and the following article, voting while intoxicated is OK.
View the video from CNN of the woman who got turned away.
Read the article from Time about drinking and voting.
