In reply to the discussion: A poll worker in West Hollywood this morning. Isn't this shit illegal? [View all]IngridsLittleAngel
(1,962 posts)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.
