I don't really see how it could be construed as voter intimidation, but it is in clear violation of multiple, pretty reasonable rules and therefore should result in disciplinary action.

Was he voting or performing security at the polling place? If he was voting I'm pretty sure it's fine, if he was working, probably not.

even i have to concede that this is grossly inappropriate within the confines of a polling location.
Blue Lives Matter? sure, i can let that slide...but a public servant in a polling location overtly displaying support for one candidate over another is wrong by literally every rule and standard we have regarding such things. --- The SBA has closed for business, we thank you for your patronage Assassins. ~there's always free cheese in a mousetrap. ...

... No, I don't think so, but it is inappropriate.
Decoy77 posted... Yet Black Panthers can stand at the doorway to a polling place with weapons and it's 100% fine and acceptable to the left.They're different situations. This is more a matter of mixing uniformed work (in a government job, no less) with politics and is probably a violation of rules. The Black Panthers are pro-2nd amendment folk, and whatever you feel about that may vary, but USA has a history of killing black and jewish people either for trying to get out the vote or trying to vote, so... yeah, whether or not you approve of it, the situations are not really comparable. --- Hi ...

He wasn't carrying a sign. The mask is pretty much just a campaign sign printed on fabric. The difference between it and a traditional sign is entirely academic. Zeus posted... >Can't wear political attire while voting Allow it, and polling stations become mini-rallies as campaigns throw last-minute money around to pack them full of people with campaign signs/clothing, which just isn't practical and makes voter intimidation that much easier to pull off (a more chaotic situation, people who would be inclined to intimidate feel supported by having people overtly on their side, etc.). Really, it's not like its a particularly obscure rule, and people have had the last year to wear their campaign clothes. They'll survive not wearing them for this one day for the sake of keeping polling stations more civilized. Zeus posted... The topic says it was while he was voting, which is why it's stupid. If he was just out on the job, maybe there'd be an argument, but it's unreasonable to ask somebody to change their clothing before they go to vote. If you're in your work uniform, you're representing your employer, and anything you do reflects on them. I wouldn't expect him to go home and change before voting, but I do think it's reasonable for him to not be allowed to engage in any political activism while in uniform, especially where police departments are supposed to be politically impartial. --- This is my signature.

If I can't wear clothing with candidates on them in a lab then it makes perfect sense that a police officer shouldn't be doing so in a polling location.

Then the Thin Blue Line/Blue Lives Matter morale patches should be verboten as well. Potentially, depending on the exact wording of the regulations in question. The argument can be made that those aren't really political so much as they are a morale booster and/or a reminder to people to respect that it's a difficult job, but the success of that argument will vary depending on how the department's policy is worded. With any such policy, you're also going to get superiors making exceptions for certain things, and I could see that being one of them. --- This is my signature.
