at the polling place?

Something like this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/859394238/notorious-rbg-face-mask-ruth-bader?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=rbg+masks&ref=sr_gallery-1-18&bes=1

Updated to add:

Voted today. Wore my RBG mask.

1. You could wear it under another mask. I know it won't make the statement in the polling place

But, it might make you feel good AND double masking increases your protection

[Ms. Toad]

2. Or I could wear it over - so it could be easily removed

without being unmasked.

3. True. She isn't running for office so it might be ok. IDK

4. Probably... unless an unusually aware Trumpster makes an issue of it.

I say unusually aware because I'm not so sure they "get it" with respect to the lace-embellished collars.

I already voted, but I'm wearing my bright blue "VOTE" mask everywhere possible. I do like the RBG one though.

[Ms. Toad]

5. They likely wouldn't.

I won't risk it on election day, since I'll be an observer. But I might try it when I wander over and vote in the next few days.

6. Maybe or you could try this

Not sure who she voted for.

7. You cannot.

It s what it is, just grin and bear a regular mask, they will toss you out.

9. According to this site -

There are no statutory restrictions in Ohio. (I searched, since I was pretty sure there were some, but I can't find any).

LaRose says political attire (undefined) is prohibited - but people wearing it who refuse to remove it will be told they are violating the law but permitted to vote anyway.

8. I wore my Lock Him Up earrings into the polls at midterm

elections and was prepared to be asked to remove them, along with a crazy tRump sticker on my purse but to my surprise they didn't tell me that. Cool!

If I were you I'd block out the initials on the mask with something black (maybe get some black paper or piece of cloth to cover it up temporarily so you don't ruin the mask). Stick a little piece of black paper on with double sided tape right before you go into the polls. The collar says it all but you can easily say ot is just a graphic design if they bring it up.

10. I'll be making my own - I just grabbed a quick example

from the internet, in case people hadn't seen them.

Mine will be simple black with a lace "collar"

[BigmanPigman]

11. I don't see any problem with that at all.

I will leave the N95 that I wrote "trump"on (with a red slash through it) back in March at home and wear the one that I wrote VOTE on instead. That should be OK with poll workers.

[Ms. Toad]

12. That should be fine! n/t

14. Short story: A woman in NH went to the voting booth with a tshirt that had

a pic of two people and under each person was a word. Under a picture of McCain was the word hero, under the pic of trump was the word zero. Because they thought it was political they said it she couldn't go it. So, she took it off, used it to cover her boobs and proceeded to vote.

True story a couple of weeks ago.

15. To each her own . . .

16. I'd bring a spare, just in case.

17. Update kick. n/t
