Where I live you can’t wear political clothing to the polls to vote or you will be turned away or made to cover it up. The fact that a poll worker can do this is ridiculous. I guess maybe it’s some sort of loophole since he’s not wearing anything officially supporting a candidate in the race, but it would severely erode my trust in the process.
I worked as a poll worker during this last election in CA. Had someone come in in a full red bedazzled velour Trump 2020 tracksuit. We asked her to turn her outfit inside out or come back wearing something else. She then proceeded to call us communists and that we’re not allowing her to vote and we’ll hear from her lawyers.
Edit: since some are saying I’m a sensitive liberal who was offended by her outfit choice and denied her right to vote, please look up California Elections Code section 319.5.

Here (Canada), those working the polls would be removed for wearing any political items. Is this legal in California?
