lthough Tuesday, November 5 is the date for Americans to go to the polls to vote for the next president, some citizens prefer to cast their ballots early, which has led to scenes that border on the grotesque. reports that at one of the polling stations in New Jersey, a supporter of the Republican candidate had to undress to vote, so she went to the polls with only a bra on top. Polling station officials asked the voter not to wear clothes in favor of any of the candidates, so the Donald Trump supporter took off her T-shirt, not without first insulting those in charge of the place.
Dress code for going to the polls? While this case is particular, it should be noted that some states have specific laws to prevent this type of propaganda from influencing voters at the time of voting. In New York, electioneering is prohibited within 100 feet of polling places. It is also forbidden to wear clothing that is for or against a candidate or a ballot proposal.
It was also reported in Garden State, New Jersey, that a woman was prevented from accessing the polls dressed as a maid, inspired by the series Handsmaid's Tale, which is a form of support for women's sexual and reproductive rights. In North Carolina, a voter was prevented from entering the polls wearing a cap with the slogan "Let's Go Brandon," which is code among Republicans for the phrase "Fuck You Biden," something that was reported on social networks. The man showed a violent attitude, so the police had to be called.
