For those unaware, like the perp here, you can't wear election related material in or around polling places. It's called "Electioneering".

Huh. I thought I knew about this, but I didn’t realize it applied to individual voters. I thought it was more geared towards volunteers, demonstrators, poll workers, etc. Thanks!

Geared toward, maybe, but vaguely written enough to apply to voters as well
