Texas Polling Place Official Tells Voter that Shirt, Which says “Vote the Bible”, is Impermissible Electioneering

According to this story, a poll worker in Williamson County, Texas, interpreted Texas law against electioneering at the polls to mean that a voter was not permitted in the polling place unless she covered up her shirt, which said, “Vote the Bible.” This incident is reminiscent of an incident in 2010 when a voter in Arizona was told she couldn’t wear a shirt that mentioned the Tea Party. She sued in federal court and won. There was no “Tea Party” on the ballot in Arizona in 2010.

  1. Was the voter a human person or a corporate person. Makes a big difference, as we all know.

    Ok, that was very funny. Thanks for the laugh.

    Regarding the article I continue to cringe here in Texas at the stupidity of our election workers.

  3. What’s next ??? —
    BAN– BAN ???
    BAN– Vote Bill of Rights ???
    BAN– Vote for Democracy ???

    Sue the MORONS for $$$ damages — to bankrupt enough of them so the rest of them get the constitutional law message.

    YEAH! I’m with you, Demo. We should let people being bullhorns into polling places and let them blast their views directly into the ears of other voters, even as they mark their ballots.

    That’s what’s next. Free speech, baby.
