Must have been wearing a "Vote for Arnold" T-shirt. I don't know what the law is on this. ____________________________ CALBLOG Harassing Poll Workers I just returned from voting where I was harassed by a poll worker. Today I entered my polling place and the poll worker told me I had to take off my shirt. It was perfectly obvious that I didn't have anything on under my shirt but a bra. I said are you serious. He said yes, you can't wear that, it's electioneering. I said it's a shirt. He said I don't care, you can't wear it in this garage - take it off. I said I don't have anything else to wear. He said I don't care - take it off. Another poll worker went inside her house to get a blanket that I could wrap around myself to vote. I voted, crying the whole time. I came out and gave him my ballot. I told him I had never before had an unpleasant experience voting but that he was a real jerk. With a stupid grin on his face, he said you can call the election office. I said I will. I did. I've also called both Arnold's and Ted Costa's organizations and told them about the incident to see if they want to take any legal action. I'll get over it, but it's important that over-zealous poll workers don't prevent our volunteers from getting out the vote this afternoon and evening. If by harassing me they are prevented from harassing our other volunteers, I won't mind. calblog.com
