Great blog post. Are we allowed to wear anything on clothing related to Issue 1 - buttons, cute hats like those in pic, etc.? And if so, should those be taken off or covered up if we need to go inside polling location? Thanks.

You can wear Issue 1 garb in the "Free Speech Zone" but will want to cover up when you go inside to tell the pollworkers that you are in the "Free Speech Zone."
