Woman Is Told She Can't Vote Because of Her Shirt |
2020-09-12 |
![]() In Exeter, New Hampshire Tuesday, a woman attempting to vote was told she couldn’t because of her clothes. She was donning a t-shirt which declared, “McCain Hero, Trump Zero.” That was deemed a form of electioneering. As her name was checked by a poll worker, Town Moderator Paul Scafidi told the apparent anti-Trumper she couldn’t practice political suffrage with apparel sporting a candidate. Refusing to be stripped of her right to vote, the ambitious agent of change removed her shirt about a hero and became, surely to some, the same thing. Paul pointed out, “She could’ve just gone into the hallway and turned it inside-out.” And he could’ve thrown her out due to indecency. But he thought it was breast best not to: “I could have (had her removed), but I didn’t want to exacerbate the whole thing. I don’t know if she was trying to have me get her arrested, but I thought it was better to just let things play out. I don’t think there were more than 15 voters in the building at the time and if there were any children there, I didn’t see them.” |

#9 So I can't wear my Trump hat when I fill out my vote-by-mail ballot? |

#8 Version I read indicated the woman who removed her shirt removed a pro-Trump shirt and the woman in the McCain Hero/Trump Zero didn't have to remove hers because "reasons". |

#6 That picture wasn't up there this morning! I would have noticed! I have it on authority (the Internet!) that women's breasts have a calming effect on men. I feel better already! |

#3 McCain was a hot-dogging POS. Sure, seven years in the Hanoi Hilton must have been horrible, but having a daddy as an admiral.... |

#2 Paul pointed out, “She could’ve just gone into the hallway and turned it inside-out.” Now you tell her. Smart man. :-) Still, no pics? Didn't happen. |

#1 I'm tying to think of something pertinent to say but there has been a little nip in the air and now I'm nursing a cold. |
