I was just watching Fox news and they were showing Kerry and his family voting.

Isn't it against the law to wear something supporting a particular candidate at the polling places? Both of the Kerry daughters had Kerry/Edwards stickers on. One had it on her sleeve, and the other had it on her coat.

I thought I heard something recently that you're not supposed to do that. Of course, I realize that the rules don't apply to Kerry...LOL...but I thought that was strange.

I would only think so for polling workers , not for voters.

There is a distance stipulated that campainers may be from the polls and I believe that distance is set by the various state govrnments

in most states the law applies to EVERYONE ... poll workers and voters alike ...

Probably technically illegal, but I kinda doubt that anyone was wondering whose camp the sKerry girls were in--LOL!!--C

You must be new to life, Somebunny. I'm envious. Really.

You'll soon learn that in such matters, there are two sets of rules; one for us regular stiffs, and one for the Beautiful People.

It is only illegal for a voter to carry a sign into the polling place. Voters can wear anything they want to -- buttons, hats, T-shirts, etc. Your clothes can advertise for your candidate or against the other candidate or both. This is the law in every state.

I know when I voted today...I was asked to zip my jacket because of my shirt....

But I was smart and had my jacket zipped when I went in Laughing

and unzipped my jacket (it was hot in there) as I was voting. When I left I had a question and that is when I was told to zip my jacket (of course I just smiled and walked out).

What was on my shirt? A big ole picture of Kerry's face with a big red circle around it with a red slash through is face.

Of course AFTER I voted I cruised to Borders to get a cup of coffee...someone told me they liked my shirt...couple of stares; then went to the mall to grab a quick bite; plus I had to stop out at the base and pick up a prescription...so had plenty of time to let lots of people see it. Very Happy
