Last night we met a young Democrat named Joey, originally from California but currently in New Orleans.
Joey asked us to remind Barack supporters that the iconic 2008 Obama t-shirts, caps and pin-badges will be prohibited from the polls on election day, as they are deemed electioneering tools by the Federal Commission on elections.
'The day before the election, we can wear them in support,' he said, 'the day after, in celebration.'
He also said 'you guys, and the international support for the Obama campaign in general, are a huge part of this movement...you're making a big difference on the ground in terms of perception. Thank you for your contribution.'

So you can't wear Obama T-shirts, caps or badges on polling day? Does that mean the signs have to be taken down from the yards and the windows as well?
Any partisan visual is OK as long as it's not within 100 yards of the polling booths, but, yes, homes with lawn placards, etc, which are situated within 100 yards of schools or churches, etc, to be used as polling places, will be removed for those 15 hours or so.
