Voter in Miami Stopped Because of His T-Shirt

Today TV news reports were covering a story about a potential, temporary First Amendment violation when a Miami voter was denied access to early voting, which began today in Dade County, Florida. The voter was wearing an Obama T-shirt, and was eventually allowed to cast his ballot. Although poll workers are NOT allowed to wear T-shirts reflecting their support for a candidate, voters are allowed to wear buttons, T-shirts, or whatever they want to show their endorsement. (I bet everyone in class could have told them that!)
