This is a copy of an email that was sent to me by a friend and fellow blogger Bill Vaughn www.tastyclips.com
Hey N9NE, Please post this to all “The Whole Nine” Readers. I got the following e-mail this afternoon and knowing how prideful we may be feeling just have to pass it on. I checked with an attorney who observes polls whose response follows.
Feel free to forward just remember to DELETE all e-mail addresses. FYI Please, please, please advise everyone you know that they absolutely cannot go to the polls wearing any Obama shirts, pins or hats. It is against the law and will be grounds to have the polling officials turn you away. That is considered campaigning and no one can campaign within a certain amount of feet of the polls. They are banking on us being excited and not being aware of this long standing law that you can bet will be enforced this year!
They are banking that if you are turned away you will not go home and change your clothes. Please just don't wear Obama gear of any sorts to the polls! Please share this information. Oh and for those of you who were already aware this was not meant to insult your intelligence. Just trying to cover all grounds. Oh, if you are voting for the other team....be sure to wear all your McCain/Palin gear on election day!
"Hi Bill. Yes, this actually is very true. The actual requirement about how many feet you have to be away from the polls with campaign literature and shirts varies by state, but being inside the polls with gear on would be a definite no no. If you just have to do it, wear a jacket over it and don't take it off until you're out of the building!"
