The boy, 17, who was wearing a shirt bearing an image of Trump extending his middle finger, was part of a group antagonizing ralliers, the woman said.

Nothing helps stop Trump bleeding support from the senior woman demographic quite like a young whippersnapper punching a 70-year-old woman to the ground for her support of Harris.

    Did you even look up the actual code?

    © No person, when within the polling place, shall electioneer or solicit votes for any political party, political body or candidate, nor shall any written or printed matter be posted up within the said room, except as required by this act.

    It makes no particular distinction how electioneering is done. Just none is allowed in any form.

        Dont quit your day job to persue a job in law.

        It doesnt need to say it explicitly and its wording is all exclusive.

        Or are you going to try and argue a shirt that litterally says “Vote for <canidate>” isnt soliciting because “the law didnt say anything about shirts!”

        And for the record i did not say you were electioneering. Merely pointing out clothing can fall into the category of electioneering…

          dude lives in PA and you’re going to lecture him on law. 🤣

          PA residents are such a pita, legally speaking, that there are entire call centers dedicated to handling support for PA residents.

          Say what you will, PA residents know their rights and what laws protect them.

          I’ll trust his legal judgement before any armchair lawyer any day.

            Except it very clearly states whats prohibited. It doesnt need to list every possible ways you could solicit because simplely stating “soliciting is prohibited” is clear.

            Do you think murder isn’t actually murder because the law didnt specific the method that is required to be considered murder was commited?..

            BTW, Its quite ironic your calling someone stupid for lack of reading comprehension. Do continue, lets see how far you’re willing to dig yourself deeper into this rabbit hole.

                Laws on electioneering can be found state by state here:

                https://www.ncsl.org/elections-and-campaigns/electioneering-prohibitions

                Since this happened in Florida:

                Fla. Stat. § 102.031

                150 ft. of the entrance to a polling place, early voting site, or office of the supervisor

                Campaign materials/signs/banners/literature

                Influencing voters/soliciting votes/political persuasion

                Circulating petitions/soliciting signatures

                polls/exit polls – Note: there is an exception allowing exit polls

                Would not seem to apply to t-shirts or hats, but would apply to signs, banners, etc. within 150 feet.
