Re: What not Wear When you Vote
Is there any chance that someone standing outside a polling place with badges, gifts, signs, etc... would actually sway your decision?
If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

Thankfully we have a secret ballot, so I would think that attempts at "persuasion" (intimidation) at the polls would be wasted on me. Don't know how others would feel.
And seeing some oaf all done up in clownish attire would actually make me less interested in their candidate.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: What not Wear When you Vote
The last time I voted in person one of those people asked me if I voted Republican and I said, "HELL NO!" I get perturbed when they are right at the entrances and want to give you their literature. Their ought to be a law that they have to stay at least 100 feet from the entrance of polling sites. I don't remember what it its in VA but when I still voted there those people were far from the entrance. I would think that as one enters a site to vote they already know for whom and the goofballs outside would have no influence whatsoever.
