Michael Denis of formerly of Waterville, ME Anyone ever noticed candidates standing around in front of the American Legion hall in Waterville? Seen candidates hanging inside Memorial Hall in Oakland (when we used to vote there)?

This law was in effect then. It still happened. Candidates should know better. Average voters with pins or t-shirts might not, yet it won't be the candidates who are reprimanded or denied the right to vote.

Out of common courtesy, vote and leave. Same way in Wal-Mart -- don't stand in front of the door and talk with the neighbor forcing others to walk way around you.report abuse

Leon Richard of Farmington, ME Seems to reek a bit of oppression, whether or not everybody is oppressed equally is irrelevant.

A person has a right to wear whatever they wish, wherever they wish. They can even stand where they want, so long as they're not on private property.

Nobody who isn't associated with the polling process should be allowed to loiter on the premises of the polls. Period.

I want to drive to the polling place and vote, and a bumper sticker is on my car, it's nobody's business. It's my right, duty, to vote and it's my car. That said, my car should be removed from the parking lot at the conclusion of my voting so others can get in and do the same.report abuse
