Isn't this outrageous!!!

Jeez. So you can't just go into the library if you're wearing campaign clothing? I think they relaxed that rule in Texas recently. Still, it's public property, you should be able to wear whatever you want. If someone is swayed by someone else's clothing then he/she is a moron.

That's a thing I am ambivalent on.
It makes sense to "protect" voting rights but it also is bad to prevent freedom of speech.
Of course they could always slippery slope it and increase the distance to like 50 feet then 60, etc.

What if there was a nudist political party in the race and the Campaign Clothing was just a smile?
