22. I don't know which State you are in, Sir, but he was right.
In just about every state I can think of, you MUST remove or cover any campaign message when you enter the polling place.

1st Amendment has nothing to do with it, really. The concept behind the law is that the polls should be a "neutral" place.

And in fact in some states the law is so strict that you CAN arrested for illegal electioneering (in Maine, it's $50 fine, I think).
