A Vote For MIT Causes Confusion


An interesting post election story here. There was some trouble at the polls on Tuesday when some voters showed up in shirts that said MIT. The poll workers thought the clothing was advocating support for Mitt Romney, and it is against the law to wear clothing in support of a candidate to the polls. However, according to Anderson Cooper’s Ridiculist, those in question were not necessarily fans of Mitt Romney they were supporters of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Other poll workers stepped in and the situation was resolved and the suspects were allowed to vote. Thank goodness that was cleared up! But then again, I’ll take that sort of polling confusion any day over disenfranchised voters and hanging chads.
