The U-S Supreme Court is getting ready to hear a Minnesota case over a state law prohibiting wearing political clothes and buttons at a polling place on election day. It all started in 2010 because of the logo on a t-shirt worn by one Hennepin County voter.
St. John’s University political science professor Phil Kronebusch
says the man was eventually allowed to vote, but still sued the state. So far, the lower courts have upheld the state law. Eleven states have similar laws. Kronebusch says the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments before the end of this month, then rule on the case before the end of June.
