This is bullsheeet! Where does Virginia get off at in establishing a Election Day DRESS CODE in a feeble attempt to save the John McCain Campaign in that state? The GOOD NEWS FOLKS is in the FINE PRINT. You cannot wear buttons, shirts, or hats that promote the election of or defeat of any specific candidate!

Virginia voters won't be allowed to wear clothing featuring John McCain or Barack Obama when they head to the polls on Nov. 4.

The State Board of Elections on Tuesday voted to ban clothing and hats as well as buttons and other paraphernalia that directly advocate the election or defeat of a specific candidate or issue.
The American Civil Liberties Union argued that the ban violates the First Amendment's right to free speech. The board, however, said it has to weigh that against the right to vote free of undue influence or the tension that candidate advocacy might create.
Efforts to enforce a similar ban are headed to court in Pennsylvania. At least four states — Maine, Montana, Vermont and Kansas — prohibit wearing campaign buttons, stickers and badges inside polling places.
