Are party shirts (or candidate shirts) considered Electioneering?

Apparently the Gadsen Flag is acceptable though.
:negative:

I'm an election observer today. So far, the only people who have been refused are people who went to the wrong polling station.

Lots of provisional ballots though.

In AZ some of the choices were between republicans and libertarians. I'm going to just start writing in "Ghost of Henry Wallace" for those situations.

I think the strategic choice is to leave those races blank in order to reduce the signature requirements if there's a recall.

Our polling place is a casino Nevada:smug: so there's no signs anywhere even close by. Bad for business.

That's awesome. I'd love to see a picture of that.

I love the "I looked through a few translations until I found the one I wanted" it's refreshing to see such honesty.

What translation? Not even the Conservapedia version says that.

One of the poll workers is explaining the "Le-A" name thing to the others.

Oh, more pollworker jokes:

A Russian, a German and a Chinaman show up at a gold mine looking for work.

The Foreman looks at the Russian and says, you look like a strong fellow, I'll put you in charge of digging and loading the cart.

He looks at the German next and says, you look like a smart guy, I'm going to put you in charge of the carts, making sure that they all end up in the right place.

Lastly, he looks at the Chinaman and says, I don't think I need any more help, I'll just put you in charge of supplies.

A little while later the Foreman comes to check on the mine. The Russian is filling carts like crazy. The German is directing carts left and right, but the Chinaman isn't anywhere to be found.

He looks down one shaft, then another tunnel. As he's walking back up to the elevator to leave, the Chinaman jumps out from behind a cart and yells "SUPPLIES!"

This is all I will ever think of when the name Sippy Cupp is brought up.

Unfortunately, any attractive woman who gets a certain amount of notability will have results like that.

I think my Congresswoman does a good job on her own merits but her Facebook is full of comments complimenting her appearance.

Anyone working at a polling station taking bets on the total number of votes cast?

Apparently the police got called to remove a Democratic volunteer from the vicinity of a poll station.

He had set up a laptop and printer to help students print out bills to prove residency.

My polling station almost ran out of "I Voted" stickers. Luckily a county employer showed up with a new roll.

Crisis averted.

You voted for her too? :hfive:

I was an election observer today and apparently I missed out on all the excitement in Tempe.
I heard that some clever nerd had set up a computer at a polling station where college students could print out bills to prove their residence.

I guess the police got involved but I think it's a fantastic idea. I'm going to start looking to see how inexpensive a setup I can come up with to see if I can find a way to put that at every polling station in the city.
