Voting
Dropped off my kid at school this morning and went to the polls. No muss, no fuss, no line. There did seem to be more cars parked outside than in some previoius elections, but other than that, pretty normal.
Irish Lass, on the other hand, had an adventurous time.
I don't know what California law is on whether wearing a candidate's campaign t-shirt is electioneering. Personally, I come down in favor of the individual's right of self-expression in the absence of any other behavior on the part of the voter to influence other voters. In that case, the proper action by the poll worker would have been to tell Irish Lass to cover up.
