Have you ever worn politically themed attire to work?



https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/572288-california-poll-worker-reprimanded-over-trump-attire


A California poll worker during Tuesday's gubernatorial recall election was reprimanded after a photo of him wearing Trump attire began trending on Twitter.
The photo showed the man working in a West Hollywood polling location while wearing a Trump 2020 hat and a shirt with the same slogan that also read, "Where's Hunter?"
A voter posted the photo to Twitter, questioning the legality of an elections worker showing political bias.

The photo then began to trend as more voters condemned the voting precinct for allowing the man to work in the attire in the first place

The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk addressed the backlash later Tuesday, writing in a tweet that the man was advised that his "attire was not appropriate" and that "he is no longer serving as an election worker."

It's unclear if the man was asked to leave or opted to do so after being reprimanded.

What a fucking chud.

Technically what I wear (US flag shirt, US flag jacket, military camo pants) everyday outside of work(and to work events that aren't in uniform) could be seen as politically motivated but I've never worn a specific candidates shirt

I'm not sure this would be being a Karen to call it in.

Wearing this kind of stuff to your poll worker job calls into question your integrity.

Probably. I'm sure he doesn't mind making a couple million off this.

He's not being fired for his political opinion, he's fired for violating the dress code.

The dude should unironically be in prison.

I mean he already belongs there for being a Trumper but if poll workers are flagrantly supporting a particular candidate it undermines confidence in elections and also someone like that is presumably a higher risk for attempting fraud or to campaign/coerce for his candidate.

Electioneering is against the law. Most polling places ban such activities by any persons within certain distances. This is nothing new and such laws have existed for ages.

Not a gotcha. The photo you posted is from Philadelphia in 2020. In PA poll workers can wear political attire.

https://www.propublica.org/article/in-pennsylvania-voting-words-matter-fashion-doesnt

The story ITT is about a man in CA, where you cannot wear political attire working at a polling place.

The photo Kolibri posted has been circulating on far right wing twitter for years but doesn't account for the fact that different states have different laws for polling places.

They should have taken them off too but considering one party actually tried to overthrow the Capitol and constantly cries about fraud that doesnt exist, Id be a little more worried about a guy in a hunter Biden shirt when Hunter Biden isnt even running for anything.

Unemployment in California rarely pays out if youre fired unless your former employer doesnt fight the claim.
