GOTV/Voter Reg Question

[jakefrep]

Last night at a baseball game, I saw several people in full */Dick regalia registering people to vote. Is it legal/ethical for the people doing the registering to wear candidate apparel while doing so?

1. Why not?

I've registered people wearing a Kerry shirt.

Some venues may require that registration be carried out on a non-partisan basis though. If that's the case, candidate regalia is obviously a no-no.

2. I think every state has its own laws and they are pretty crazy

3. Yep, it's legal.

Even good tactic.
We festoon our voter registration booths with Dem signs, banners, bumper stickers. We'll register whoever comes up, but repugs generally don't.
