That doesn't sound right to me. What about free speech?

The law says that political ads are not allowed within the voting area. This would extend to clothes, pins, etc worn by voters.

Technically... I think that wearing a simple Trump hat wouldn't fall into that area unless it said "Vote for Trump" or something similar. But it's really up to the discretion of the poll workers, and they have final say. Since there are (allegedly) an equal number of Republican and Democrat poll workers at each location, there's little (no) concern of discrimination.

I wonder what the pollers would say if a voter came in with "Kamala" tattooed on their forehead.

That look aw is about campaign and party and poll workers. Where dies it state that a voter coming into the viting area to cast their personal vote is subjected to removing their hat or shirt if it has a candidate's or campaign's depiction of a slogan or image? I was only there to vote and leave.

That's the rule , I'm not sure if it knew or not . You don't live in a free country.

I am confused about the new voting rules or if I was being told wrong. At Traphill Elementary, I was told I could not come in and vote because I was wearing a Trump ball cap. I had to go back out and leave it in my truck before I was allowed to come inside and vote. I know poll workers cannot wear any campaign insignia, but is it true that that rule has now been extended to voters as well?
