Woman Wearing MIT Shirt Accused Of Electioneering At Florida Polling Place
From Boca Raton, Florida:
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — A woman attempting to vote in West Boca Raton this morning was initially prohibited from entering the polling place because she was wearing a tee shirt with the letters MIT.
BocaNewsNow.com has heard from multiple sources that an election supervisor at the polling place ultimately realized that MIT stands for “Massachusetts Institute of Technology” — a school where students tend to know how to spell — and was not a campaign shirt for the Republican candidate, who spells his name MITT.
Campaigning is not permitted within several yards of a polling place.
The woman was ultimately allowed to vote.
Maybe they thought MIT stood for “Mitt Is Terrific”

She should have worn the “God said….[Maxwell’s Equations]…and there was light” T-shirt instead.
Pretty funny. I was thinking of testing my free speech at the polls, but the 5th Circuit’s upheld T-shirt bans.
Forget it, Jake. It’s Florida.
wow, you can’t make this stuff up.
Actually it’s Boca. If you paid 3 million for a condo that at best could fetch 1 million you’d be a bit crazy too.
As would your local news outlets. And Doug.
