Debbie Dupeire was so intent on helping to re-elect the president Tuesday that she shucked her Bush-Cheney T-shirt and voted in her bra after being told that state election law prohibits displaying a candidate's name in a polling place.

"I really thought it was OK to wear my shirt. I didn't go there to cause trouble," said the 38-year-old makeup artist from Jefferson.

Dupeire said she was worried that she would lose the chance to vote if she left to change her shirt after signing the voter's book; the commissioner in the busy polling place might not remember her, or might be away from the booth on break when she returned.

So Dupeire pulled off the offending red-white-and-blue shirt and marched into the booth at Deckbar Elementary School clad in her white sports bra, exercise pants and flip-flops.

I think this supports that IQ by state chart 😉 Could have....TURNED THE SHIRT INSIDE OUT.

Yeah, but that would have been the "values" thing to do... :roll:

Her answer:

"I'd been in line wearing the shirt for 15 minutes, and no one said anything until I was about to vote," said Dupeire, who said she always votes. "Had they told me before I signed the book, I would have gone out and turned my shirt wrong-side out. But I wasn't going to leave after signing because I would have had no proof that I hadn't voted. I just did the fastest thing I could do to vote."

Interesting.

There is pics but you have to register with the local paper websites and I will not do that.

She's not bad.

She had an ordinary Bush/Cheney white T-shirt on. She shouldn't have worn it to the Polls.

I had an ordinary Newspaper. I was not showing out in any way, just reading it and was told to throw it out as it was called Electioneering.
