From CNNPolitics:
The controversy began last week when reports surfaced that Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz had told poll workers they could ask voters wearing clothing bearing the WWE logo to cover it when at the polling place because Linda McMahon is so closely associated with the company.
She left the CEO’s post to cast her lot in the Senate race.
State Republicans and McMahon reacted as if Bysiewicz had ordered a complete ban on such clothing and decreed that poll workers could turn voters away if they wore clothing with WWE-logos.
“On what grounds does Bysiewicz base this ridiculous act of voter intimidation?” asked Republican State Party Chairman Chris Healy last week.
