our legislature has decide to let each of our 67 counties decide if people wearing clothing/pins/yard signs/etc supporting their candidate would be allowed inside their polling place.

Allegheny county has decided that voters would not be traumitized by seeing such things.

As Judge Of Elections, I am relieved I dont have to throw out old ladies wearing Obama buttons(I havent seen any McPain ones yet).

I wonder if hillary buttons would be allowed.

You would still have to throw them out here in God's Country and make them leave the pin the car or bus or gutter or whatever. As we are not so enlightened as the City of Brotherly Love. I mean State. I mean Commonwealth. You know what I mean.

I believe that Clinton buttons would still be allowed.

Allegheny county is very far from Philadelphia - in more ways than one.

Local election judges have required partisan and ballot-issues-supporting T-shirts to go outside and come back in with a sweater or sweatshirt over them.
