Last Thursday, Frank Knaack of the ACLU posted this diary about wearing campaign clothing, buttons, etc. to the polls. His bottom line is worth repeating:
Unless you know for sure, we suggest that you either refrain from wearing political clothing, or be prepared to cover up or remove such clothing. Though you may be permitted to vote with it on, you also risk losing your right to vote.
The rules vary from state to state. I was curious as to just how many states do ban campaign apparel. I was surprised at the number that do; I only found five states (edit: now six, counting Iowa) that explicitly allow it. See below the fold for a state-by-state list. If the state name is hyperlinked, it goes to an official statement from a state government website. Unofficial sources (including news accounts) are listed after the state name.
