...to the GC lawyers

I received an email asking that voters not wear any candidate paraphernalia to the polls when they go to vote. The suggestion was that paraphernalia (T-shirts, hats, pins, etc..) would be seen as "campaigning" and be grounds for polls workers to legitimately turn people away.

I'm aware that people working on behalf of candidates (passing out literature, etc) cannot be within a certain radius of the polling place, but had never heard this extended to the average person who might be wearing candidate paraphernalia.

The e-mail was from a bruh, so I know it wasn't sent to to turn people away; rather to help ensure that people aren't turned away.

Any GC attorneys familiar with election law enough to weigh in on the validity of this?
