Inappropriate clothing in Virginia

This story refers to a vote today banning any type of Obama or McCain clothing, buttons and hats when visiting the Virginia polls by their state board of elections. The board feels that by wearing such clothing, it would look like voters are directly advocating the election or defeat of a specific candidate or issue.

Of course this is looked at as a violation of First Amendment rights as declared by the ACLU. I completely agree with this as I cannot imagine how this could be enforced. So if you're wearing a shirt with your candidate's name on it, will you be sent home like if you wore an offensive shirt at school? Will you not be able to vote until you change your shirt or remove your hat or button?

I would venture a guess that most polling places in Virginia are like mine and staffed with retired workers. Would they be expected to enforce this law? I can't imagine how successful or willing they would be to.
