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?

Attorneys aren't going to give you advice online, but if you're concerned, I would call the Attorney General's office or the Office of the Secretary of State in your state. Those would be the first two places I would think of if I thought there was some sort of voter or polling fraud.
