Minnesota Asks U.S. Supreme Court Not to Hear Case on Political Clothing at the Polls

On September 5, Minnesota asked the U.S. Supreme Court not to hear Minnesota Voters Alliance v Mansky, 16-1435. This the case over Minnesota’s law, banning anyone at the polls from wearing any political clothing, or anything attached to clothing that has a political message. Minnesota’s brief can be seen here.

Although it is already established that voters can be prohibited from wearing clothing that has a message about an issue, a candidate, or a party that is on the ballot in that election, the Minnesota law is far broader. The U.S. Supreme Court appears somewhat interested in this case because it asked Minnesota to respond. Otherwise Minnesota would not have bothered to submit a brief. The lower federal courts had upheld the law. The U.S. Supreme Court has this case on its September 25 conference.

  1. Skin markings next ???

    One more reason for ALL paper mail ballots.

    Oregon survives with APMB — NO polling places.

  2. Hmmm. Are RED (as in RED Elephants) or BLUE (as in BLUE Donkeys) clothes, in whole or part, now illegal in polling places in the LEFTWING politically correct MN regime ???

    Who was that internet colorblind moron in the 1990s who made the commie RED Donkeys into New Age BLUE Donkeys ??? One more conspiracy to revise history ???
