Does the electioneering law apply to clothing items?

[funkybutt]

I think I've heard that people have been denied entrance to the polls b/c they were wearing a campaign t-shirt. Would "A village in Texas is Missing it's Idiot" apply, since it doesn't directly list a candidates name? Please quote the law or post appropriate links, if possible.

on edit: spelled "denied" correctly

1. I've never heard of those laws being applied to people who go to polls to

vote.

I've only ever heard them applied to people who aren't voting.

But I don't know what the laws say.

2. Yes, it does apply.

You have to cover any political logos or pins completely. It's the law!
