Leave Your Team Gear at Home: Interesting election note in Texas -- because of the stadium initiative on the ballot, voters will not be able to wear Dallas Cowboys merchandise at polling places. Voters will be asked to cover any logos on their clothing. The relevant Texas state law, Election Code sec. 60.010(a) states:

Except as provided by Subsection (b), a person may not wear a badge, insignia, emblem, or other similar communicative device relating to a candidate, measure, or political party appearing on the ballot, or to the conduct of the election, in the polling place or within 100 feet of any outside door through which a voter may enter the building in which the polling place is located.

No word on whether employees of the W Hotel will be allowed to wear their uniforms to vote.
