I'm surprised BLM hasn't flipped out that more attention is on the election than them
They turn off the majority, so they stopped getting funding. Hell, I hope there are people wearing these at polling places everywhere.

It is a political statement by a poll worker who is supposed to be completely neutral in appearance.
That's a social statement.

I kind of agree with you OP, but it's a pretty minor issue IMO
Honestly, when I go to my polling place and the 5 poll workers are all black, I reach the same conclusion regarding their likely voting preferences.
As long as they're cordial and don't try to influence you in any other way, I don't really care.

Quit playing dumb. You know BLM is a political movement.

It should be but plenty will just call them smart patriots. But I ultimately could care less what someone is wearing because I live in America and don't concern myself with what other consenting adults do or wear.

Pollng places have 100-foot campaign-free zones (Supreme Court approved), which means passive political speech—hats, shirts, and buttons—are banned.

The left does not believe that laws apply to them.

I'm pretty sure that only applies to candidates or issues on the ballot.

So the guy wearing trump gear early voting gets arrested and blasted for "intimidating" voters. But this piece of shite can not only go vote but work at the poll?

Not a partisan thing, I'm sure a lot of Trump supporters back Black Lives Matter.
