CNS: When was the last time a T-shirt or button influenced the way you voted?
Probably never—but the state of Minnesota thinks its citizens are much more impressionable, so it banned voters from wearing items that could be construed as “political” at polling places.
In addition to prohibiting express advocacy on behalf of a political candidate or ballot question, Minnesota’s law also bans “issue oriented material designed to influence or impact voting” and “material promoting a group with recognizable political views,” such as a “Don’t Tread on Me” T-shirt.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky, a case challenging this ban as an overbroad restriction of protected speech. MORE HERE
Minnesota’s voters ARE impressionable! Humphrey, Mondull, Wellstone, Franken – they’re EASILY influenced by DULLARDS. :zzz:
No free speech during elections now. Can’t have that. I’m still pissed I can’t wear my gun at the polls. That’s why I mail mine in.
MJA that image made me laugh aloud…… What the hell is wrong with sheeple? er peepul….. aaaaaa people?

Can’t wear a “Don’t tread on me” t-shirt, but I bet they wouldn’t have a problem with a Che t-shirt.
@BBrad ~ you mailed your gun in??? 😲
@Bad_Brad (at 10:07 pm) : You mail your gun in to the polls?! I suppose they would know to count it as a Conservative vote, but I would be afraid they wouldn’t mail it back.

Actually I mail an Assaulting Weapon into liberal districts. Makes no difference in California. It’s fixed.
Jeez, I guess I fail at the edit function.
until the abolish farting at the polls, i’m still going to the polls.
Smell you later!
The edit function is for people that don’t know how to proofread.
@Bad_Brad (at 10:57 pm): As long as your “Assaulting Weapon” is “fixed” and can’t impregnate someone, I guess it’s OK.

My assaulting weapon has been fixed. By popular demand. Now days, I just lay on the porch.

Truer words. But who’s got time for that?
Brad, it’s simple, don’t look back.
@Bad_Brad (at 11:13 pm): I can still run to the end of my chain and bark, but that’s about it.
🙂
Vietvet
I hear you. And thank God for the chain. LOL
WTFmang my votes come completely from bumper stickers. Else I’dbe forgettin who to vote for.
Eventually, the government will only allow individuals to wear burlap tunics as the official clothing.
It was pretty clear that a leftist slogan would be permitted, whereas anything they remotely construed as being right of center would not be. I sincerely hope they are finally overplaying their hand.

I am a very sensative guy! You make me wanna cry?
