A sneaky way to suppress voters for Sanders

[Lone_Wolf]

Some new Twitter accounts are encouraging people to proudly and loudly wear their Bernie paraphernalia.

Friends, DO NOT wear any campaign buttons etc when you vote tomorrow. Also, if you see any of the Clintons (Bill, Hillary, or Chelsea) hanging around within 100'ft of a polling place, call the police and have them arrested.
The Attorney General voting problems hotline [phone] or email [e-mail] at any time between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m
Here is the law:
New York Election Law § 8-104. Polls
1. ...While the polls are open no person shall do any electioneering within the polling place, or in any public street, within a one hundred foot radial measured from the entrances designated by the inspectors of election, to such polling place or within such distance in any place in a public manner; and no political banner, button, poster or placard shall be allowed in or upon the polling place or within such one hundred foot radial.

Please spread the word!

When I first started voting in NY, I wasn't aware of this rule. Once I had to go to my car, take off my shirt and put it on inside out before I was allowed into the polling location.

3. I used to mark the 100 foot line.

I will be sure to have plenty of Bernie signs at the 101 foot line, and a person with a camera taking pictures of folks with other electioneering gear on entering the polling area.
