Actually, I think most states had banned wearing political clothing to the polls because they argued it might intimidate other voters. But I believe the Supreme Court ruled that this is, in fact, unconstitutional in some cases where the state laws were too vague in defining such "political" clothing. It was a 7-2 decision back in 2018. I'm not sure if their ruling would cover this instance or not, but I'm guessing there could be a good case brought.
@KeithThroop Anyone who feels intimidated by a shirt with a political message that is legal away from the polls needs to grow up and respect other people's right to free speech!
@DaveO276 I couldn't agree more! I think the Supreme Court should have been more clear on this as well, at least as I currently understand its ruling, which I've only read reports about but haven't read yet myself.
