(3,826 posts)21. This is what the law states in Missouri and Illinois
Electioneering laws in MO and Il
In Missouri, no item endorsing a candidate or issue may be brought within 25 feet of a polling place. That includes shirts, buttons, hats, stickers or any other wearable item that a voter might have on while going to vote.
If someone is wearing one of these items into a polling place, he or she will be asked to remove it or to make sure a shirt's endorsement is not visible -- either by turning the shirt inside out or by covering it with a jacket.

Again why don't Bernie supporters think these laws pertain to them?
It was to stop harassment of voters going into the polls.
