Someone tweeted about an old lady who went to vote early. She was denied entry because she wore a MAGA T-shirt. She took the shirt off and walked, while spewing all kinds of expletives not becoming a woman in her 70s.

Where?

Here political signs and clothing aren’t allowed within X feet of a polling place.

No idea. It was a picture grabbed from a Reddit post.

Same here and probably everywhere. The joke is not that she tried to get in with the t-shirt, but that she complied with the insistence she not wear it into the poling place.

In 2016 someone tried to stop me from wearing a red Washington Nationals cap. They tried claiming it was a MAGA cap.

Read that thread. The stupid is really, really powerful in the Reddit set. Which are, to my reckoning, young males, college educated, economically… well, not quite hopeless, but hope challenged.

Ugly, fat, old, and vulgar.

No wonder Vance liked it. Right on message for the campaign.

Broken glass voter.

Kamala-lama-ding-dong have many of those?

[Horace]

Kamala not seeming like an actual human being in interviews, puts a hard limit on how much anybody might be able to like her.

Wow, not much of a sense of humor on that site….

[LuFins Dad]

I’d rather have that deranged, crass, and crude old woman in my family (and in fact, have several aunts and one grandma just like her) than the prissy old bitch knocking on her neighbors door and yelling at them about their Trump sign or that wretched young lady that screamed at that little girl in Houston.

[Jolly]

I suspect Mee-maw would have approved of her...

[LuFins Dad]

I wonder why they didn’t just send her to the restroom and turn her shirt inside out. That’s the standard procedure. I’ve seen it at the polls and sporting events.

[jon-nyc]

I used to think this was a stupid rule since no one is likely to be swayed by seeing a political sign or hat.

But the real reason for the rule is probably to prevent fights.

[Horace]

It's to prevent fights, and to prevent intimidation. Can you imagine going to a polling place and seeing a hundred elderly white women wearing "Hate Has No Home Here" shirts? It would be terrifying.
