The election worker was contacted and advised that the attire was inappropriate and unacceptable. Based on his response and reports that other workers had previously counseled him on this, he was released and is no longer working at the vote center.

These assholes know they're breaking the law and don't give a shit. Why should they? It's not like there are any real consequences.

[spanone]

1. Fucking Moron

[TheBlackAdder]

88. I don't see how this guy was even allowed in the room or to take a seat at the table.

[DinahMoeHum]

2. It is, in NY state.

I can vouch for that as an election inspector (poll worker) myself. Cannot have electioneering within 100 feet of a polling place, not even clothing, buttons, etc.

[ShazzieB]

30. Illegal as fuck in Illinois, too. 🤬

[RoccoRyg]

74. I can vouch for that.

I'm an election judge in Illinois and this would never be allowed. If my fellow judges tried it, I'd call HQ and report them immediately.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

91. I'm also an election judge in Illinois

And the people I have worked with, including the Republicans, wouldn't have stood for that for one instant. I can easily see Bob -- a Republican election judge -- calling the County Clerk to have the guy removed as soon as he saw it.

[soldierant]

76. Also in Colorado

And vigorously enfrorced. The precinct supervisor or polling place supervidor would have kicked him out and called the Election Department for a sub.

It's also illegal for voters, and that is also enforced.

[JohnnyRingo]

82. Ohio too, but it's amazing that a volunteer would do that.

I've seen voters try to get away with it, but the workers volunteer for a reason. They care about a fair and unbiased election. It's hard work and returns little compensation for a 14 hour day.

This is what Trump has done to democracy. That guy probably signed on hoping he could "stop the steal" or busting "illegals" trying to cast a vote. Hopefully, he's on a list now.

[Whiskeytide]

85. Volunteers USE to be people who sincerely cared ...

… about election integrity. And no doubt tens of thousands of them still do. It’s a thankless but essential job that selfish people would never even think about doing.

BUT - Someone has told the MAGATS that they can volunteer for these positions and get inside to stir up shit. And I suspect they are doing so in large numbers. couple this with the intimidation and threats toward poll workers, and it will be a real problem in upcoming elections.

[JohnnyRingo]

94. Apparently, one asshole couldn't help himself.

He just had to blow his cover out of devotion to the real president. hahaha

Maybe he wanted booted since he ignored repeated warnings. It might not have been the walk in the park with an opportunity to cheat like they said it would be.

[Sneederbunk]

3. Obviously too stupid to work there.

[blm]

4. Entitled, lawless Republicans.

[area51]

83. +1 n/t

[StClone]

5. Curious if you directed concerns towards this "Pol"

[PatSeg]

6. Whoa, that takes a lot of nerve

[geardaddy]

7. It definitely is in Minnesota

[JohnSJ]

8. He should go on a list that blocks him from ever being a poll worker

[calimary]

38. Definitely!

You're supposedly NOT allowed to do "electioneering" within a certain number of feet of a polling place. (Like, 100 feet, I think, but would have to double-check that.) This guy should face SOME sort of accountability. It's CLEAR defiance and flouting of the rules. And he was told only to stop and go away? SHEESH! So what does one learn from this experience? That you get a free pass and not even a rap on the knuckles? Looks like the lesson is: you can just go home and then prepare to do it again. Because there are no consequences for this kind of bullshit behavior!

[lunatica]

43. He probably just moved on to the nearest polling place

[ShazzieB]

68. I don't know about Cali

But in Illinois, you are assigned to work at a specific polling place/precinct, and you can't just randomly show up somewhere else. If you tried that here, you'd be sent packing pronto; cops would be called if you refused to leave.

Same thing would happen if you showed in campaign gear like that oaf. You'd be out on your ass so fast your
head would spin, and your name would be stricken from the list of election workers for the county. Election judges (as poll workers are called here) are appointed to 2 year terms, so you could always reapply later and hope no one in the county clerk's office had a very long memory. But again, if you showed up dressed like that and/or showed up someplace you weren't assigned, you'd be summarily ejected, police called if necessary.

[babylonsister]

9. Well, on the plus side, makes him easily identifiable as an asshole. nt

[panader0]

47. That's my first thought too. Trump bumper sticker?Asshole on board.

[Runningdawg]

10. I tried to report a guy at a polling station in Tulsa in 2016 dressed like a walking billboard

for "Vengeance for Benghazi". The people working the polling station had no idea how to file a report. They called several people and I waited over an hour for a response I never got. In the end, they took my information and said "someone will get back to you". They didn't.

[LiberalFighter]

17. In that type of situation you need to report to multiple people.

The chair of the Democratic Party in that county.

And the print and tv media people.

[ShazzieB]

69. That's a shame. In Illinois, we'd know exactly what to do.

Enforcing rules like that is part of the training. Sounds like some states may not be as thorough in training poll workers, which sucks, if true.

[Runningdawg]

93. Um...yeah. It's OK. I am sure they tried REALLY hard to report my complaint.

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

11. Their definition of "Law and Order."

[ShazamIam]

12. Some of that, "election integrity," Republicans are always crowing and carrying on about.

[FakeNoose]

13. Wearing inappropriate shirt, hat, and mask that are all taboo

Also has cellphone on table, is he secretly recording and transmitting voter info?

This guy should have never been allowed into any official vote counting area.

[RVN VET71]

19. With his nose hanging over his mask

like an appropriately limp penis.

The world is too full-up with recta (pl of rectum) like this.

[SledDriver]

14. Wahhh! The election was rigged! Waahhhh!

Voting integrity! It was corrupt! It was unfair! It's rigged unless we win!

[ffr]

15. What a POS!

Red flag his name on the list so this never happens again.

Fuck that guy!

[vercetti2021]

16. Might as well be wearing I'm with stupid t-shirt

This screams. IMA BIG FUCKING DUMBASS from here to the ends of the universe.

[SeattleVet]

35. They even have them in his color!

[halfulglas]

18. I know that's illegal in Maryland.

Besides, from that picture it looks like he was wearing his mask wrong. From this view it looks like his nose was hanging out.

[NurseJackie]

25. In Maryland, A person who violates the electioneering boundaries is guilty of a misdemeanor...

In Maryland, A person who violates the electioneering boundaries is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a
fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500, or imprisonment for not more than 60 days, or both.

[MyOwnPeace]

20. It's also illegal in Pennsylvania.....

although our Pubes- oops, RepubliQans in Harrisburg are probably trying to change that....

[usaf-vet]

55. Illegal in Wisconsin. The fact that he had time to setup. Tells me the entire polling place needs..

... to be suspect.

The polling location I've voted at for the last 40 years has turned people away at the entrance for wearing or carrying any electioneering material.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

21. He's been removed. Hopefully they're also checking to insure no funny business went down.

The election worker was contacted and advised that the attire was inappropriate and unacceptable. Based on his response and reports that other workers had previously counseled him on this, he was released and is no longer working at the vote center.

[monkeyman1]

24. just looked it up & is illegal as hell according to California law !!

[IngridsLittleAngel]

32. Yes it is

My roommate has done work in prior years working at a polling place. Electioneering of any kind within 100 feet of a polling place is illegal in this state.

In fact, I was reading through some of the replies to the initial tweet when I saw the reply from the LA County RRCC about him being removed. One person was told they could not come in and vote wearing a "Bob Ross for President" shirt - and this was after Bob had died. Another was told the same for a "Bartlet For America" shirt - and Josiah Bartlet is a fictional character. And these were voters, not election workers.

So, absolutely. A "Drumpf 2020" hat and an anti-Hunter Biden shirt on an election worker? Serious violation. It's appalling it lasted as long as it did, but fortunately, they've been sent home.

I just hope they didn't pull any funny shit while they were there.

[BidenRocks]

54. I really can't believe that DUrs

Are seriously wondering if this is illegal in California.
Really? What in THEE hell?!

[IngridsLittleAngel]

56. I'm a bit surprised too..

But, it's possible they live in states where the laws aren't quite so strict. Here, they are very strict. They call out anything that looks even remotely political at a polling location.

The fact this person was allowed to work there for a couple hours or so was a case of someone really dropping the ball. They should've been immediately told to change clothes or go home the second they arrived with that hat and shirt.

[onenote]

80. I don't think so

It's inappropriate as hell, but not a crime in California, unless you can point me to another section of the law.

https://www.lawserver.com/law/state/california/codes/california_elections_code_319-5

[monkeyman1]

26. very good ! du at work ! keep it up !

[ShazzieB]

34. Thank God he's been removed!

What a fucking asshole!

Yes, I am swearing. Something this egregious calls for, no, demands it!

[AdamGG]

22. They idolize a sociopath and revel in being offensive

And, he's confident that the 90% of people in West Hollywood who are anti-Trump will still treat him humanely. That wouldn't be the case if someone was wearing pro Democratic anti-Trump gear deep in MAGAT territory.

[world wide wally]

23. And, I'm sure this guy is worried about Democratic election fraud

[GoCubsGo]

27. This kind of shit isn't even legal in South Carolina.

WTF, California?

[crickets]

28. He should never have been allowed in the door, much less seated to work...

with his cellphone on the table.

[Pepsidog]

29. They really are sick demented bastards. American Taliban will destroy this country.

[Lovie777]

31. More no votes for Newsom . ..

[Initech]

33. I'd vote "NO" in front of his face!

[Grokenstein]

36. This is why everyone needs to speak up when they can.

Obviously, safety first--but in a SANE universe, the line "based on his response and reports that other workers had previously counseled him on this" would be replaced by "days ago his supervisor took one look at his get-up and fired him."

But you know, at least he's arrogant enough to advertise his bias. Such arrogance works in our favor, we just have to take advantage of it.

[Baked Potato]

37. T***p 2020? nt

[Moebym]

39. He clearly believed that

The rules didn't apply to him.

[mopinko]

40. it actually might be legal. trump's not on the ballot. certainly inappropriate, tho.

i do believe there is a loophole on this, but it certainly violates the intent of the law.
enough to get him canned for the sheer stupidity, tho.

[ripcord]

42. This

He isn't electioneering because Trump isn't running, it is in poor taste but I don't think they can do anything about it.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

44. He's been removed (see above)...

Plus, a couple people replied to Trina's tweet, saying they were not allowed to enter a polling place in the past while wearing "Bob Ross for President" and "Bartlet for America" shirts, respectively. If they're not going to allow shirts for deceased painters or fictional presidents, they're certainly not going to allow MAGA gear.

[mopinko]

50. yeah, it's not even party wear.

no elephants, no logos.

[LanternWaste]

61. I'm sure you'll support that, yes?

Specify the loopholes in relevant state law and statutes, etc. Be interested in reading them.

[mopinko]

67. i didnt make a statement of absolute fact.

i've been a judge in illinois a few times, and that was my understanding.
not saying no judge would shut that down, but it is a grey area.

these days, i would hope anyone would.

[moose65]

41. This happened in freaking West Hollywood??

Isn't that like gay-ultra-liberal ground zero??

[Crowman2009]

46. Well there's a small chunk of green party/new-age/anti-vax whackos there.

[FreeState]

48. Yep

In 1984, West Hollywood had officially become one of the first pro-gay municipality regions in the country. The tradition of pride and acceptance spread throughout the community, and has been praised by locals and visitors ever since.

Today, more than forty percent of the population identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender and the city has become a leader of communities in showcasing how to protect and advocate for equal rights for the LGBT community. West Hollywood has become one of the world’s top gay vacation spots for LGBT travelers and is at the center of gay California nightlife, including spas, shopping and dining. The city contains a great concentration of popular hotels, restaurants, shops and bars for the LGBT community in greater Los Angeles. The city hosts large LGBT events such as the Los Angeles Gay Pride, Outfest, and West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnival.

[peppertree]

49. +1

Besides the gay community, they have a vocal New Age community.

It was home of the famed Bodhi Tree bookstore - until it closed a decade ago due to landlord greed.

I miss that place.

[PlanetBev]

62. Wow. didn't realize the Bodhi Tree closed

In my younger days, West Hollywood was my old stomping ground. Haven’t been there in many moons. I used to spend hours in that place.

[Hortensis]

75. Hey, I used to drop in the Bodhi Tree when we lived in WH long ago also.

My time was when it was still pretty new but already very popular. Sad that it closed, but good that it remained an institution for so long.

[peppertree]

45. In West Hollywood, huh?

That must have been interesting.

[Hekate]

51. Yes, it is. He never should have gotten past the door in the first place.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

52. Fucking little scumbag. Totally illegal.

Not sure what the penalties are now but this little squid should find himself in front of a judge for a misdemeanor charge at least.
You gotta wonder how loudly this sheep would be bleating at the sight of someone wearing a Biden campaign shirt.

[littlemissmartypants]

53. Electioneering is the name for it.

I thought I would mention that since I didn't see where anyone did.

58. I was a poll watcher in 2020

We couldn't wear anything political at all. The workers were also dressed accordingly. Glad to see this idiot was let go.

[treestar]

59. Yes, usually within some number of feet of the polling place

Right outside that measure, there will be hundreds of yard signs for various candidates.

My polling place is a school, and while waiting in the long line for the 2020 election, an asshole drove a big truck with Trumper flags and US flags through the school's drop-off lane and then left. That was illegal yet he'd probably didn't get caught (unless someone in line recognized him and wasn't a Trumper).

[Takket]

60. what a piece of shit.........

these people just have no respect for anything. our laws, our society, our culture, our rules, or just plain good taste. glad they kicked his stupid ass out.

[Demovictory9]

64. omg. is he wearing trump socks and underwear also?

[Demsrule86]

65. What an asshole...and can tell you where Hunter isn't...working in the Whitehouse grifting

like Donnie's spawn from hell.

[Cadfael]

66. From the Judge of Election Handbook

DuPage County Illinois 2018-2020 edition:

“No one (including Judges of Election) is permitted to wear a campaign button, politically embellished garment, display political literature, place signage or engage in any political discussion within the Campaign Free Zone.
Follow the aerial layout provided in the Judges Pickup Envelope to place the blue NO Electioneering cones. Electioneering is not allowed within 100 feet of the polling room. If 100 horizontal feet ends inside the building, NO electioneering is allowed within. This is the Campaign Free Zone; the blue NO Electioneering cones should be placed outside the front door.
The broken blue line on the aerial layout indicates cone placement for all other distances from the front door.
A private entity (including churches or private schools) can choose to make their entire property a Campaign Free Zone. This means that electioneering is not allowed anywhere on their property. The facility will need to display their NO Electioneering shield sign. The Judges should not remove these signs. These signs stay at the site.”

(Inspector is first in command in a precinct) should be fired for even letting him in the door.

California Election Worker Removed for Wearing ‘Trump 2020’ Attire at Polling Place

Californians have gone to the polls to cast their ballots in the state’s gubernatorial recall election. But at one polling place in West Hollywood there were some election “shenanigans” as Larry Elder might put it.

A poll worker was photographed at the voting site wearing a “Trump 2020” hat and a t-shirt that reads “Where’s Hunter?,” a reference to President Joe Biden’s son.

It’s unclear when the photo was taken, but the first posting of it on Twitter seems to have occurred on Monday, which would mean it was taken not on Tuesday – the last day to vote – but on Monday or earlier at a location where early in-person voting was available. The photo was posted by an unverified account, and it purported to be from the poster’s friend in West Hollywood.

Ultimately, the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk confirmed that the man in the photo was indeed a poll worker. That is, until he was removed.

72. Relax. The hat is worn to cover up the lobotomy scar

Endless arrogance and stupidity

[rockfordfile]

73. He should be arrested

[onenote]

81. He should be removed from his post, but he hasn't committed a crime.

Electioneering is defined narrowly and specifically in California law:

[Mike Nelson]

77. Yes!

... it is prohibited. He wasn't going to last long... cool that the picture does not show his face, in case he was looking for attention. Hopefully, this attire is not permitted anywhere in the USA. However, I do think "Red" areas may either overlook this, or make it legal. This would be intimidating in some areas, which is exactly what some Trumpsters want - that's the real story.

[H2Oart]

78. well

Too bad for this guy. Where's Hunter? hahhaha well after the victory by Newsome, Hunter, Newsome and the entire Democrat Party is putting their foot up these peoples asses.

Let's keep this in mind. If we keep the Senate numbers and add 2-3 new seats, Manchin and Simena will become somewhat secondary. Lets get the new Senate seats Democrat.....WE CAN DO IT.

[marble falls]

79. "It's not like there are any real consequences." We can fix that. Vote every election like ...

... you're the only one voting.

[PortTack]

84. That is electioneering pure and simple! It is illegal nationwide. He was dismissed

[kimbutgar]

86. I hope he is on a banned list to never be able to get a job working as a poll worker.

[turbinetree]

87. Charge is fucking ass.....

then maybe he can move to Texas and join the crew there that says this shit isn't illegal's now....

[Rural_Progressive]

89. Not a problem in Washington State

although my dear wife has been known to wear enticing outfits as we sit at the kitchen table and fill in our ballots. Woman has known how to bend my will to her ways for sooooo many years

[LiberalLovinLug]

90. "Where's Hunter?" Who cares?????

These cultists have no problem with Trump's kids being given advisor jobs to the highest office. But Hunter is harassed for NOT being visible and staying out of the spotlight? What is it they want?

And why is what Hunter does, or his mistakes in his past, have ANYTHING to do with Joe Biden the President?

I know I know....there is no legitimate answer. "Hunter" is simply a trigger word now, like "liberal" and "AOC".

[Lanius]

92. Wearing a "Trump 2020" hat. What a loser.

It will be 2041, Trump will be long gone, and the deplorables will still be wearing Trump 2020 gear (if they aren't all dead due to not getting vaccinated for COVID variants).
