Every Bernie Supporter Should Have a Sticker

that they put on when leaving the door of the voting building. Where there are several outside video taping and counting the count. Make sure the media knows we are doing this because we are fed up. It's on TV and the Oligarchy are all fainting.

edit: That way they can't cheat us out of votes any longer.

1. You would have to do that some distance from the polls

at least here in NY. They call it electioneering, and it is prohibited within 100 feet of the polling place.

I was a precinct 'watcher' and a child (with his father) had a campaign sign in the
actual voting area. I put a stop to that...

3. I'm sure they wouldn't like it. But I feel their electioneering is a ruse

for cheating us out of our votes. You know like the I voted sticker just plunk one on you say a block from the place. All Bernie supporters walk that way to their cars. I'm fed up with us taking this voter theft every year. We need to stand up to this theft.

7. Not in NC. In 2012 a voter here had an Obama shirt on and they told her to cover it up or leave.

and boys part their hair on the right side. (if your bald draw a line on your head where the part should be. There has got to be a way to show who we voted for. Why can't we just put two fingers up or skip out of the building or hop on one foot or? It's time the voting count stops being manipulated. Millions of people can stop this by making sure everyone knows how many voted at each precinct and for who. Transparency.

14. All right I am in reality. Why can't we tell who we voted for after the fact?

What is the law for? Doesn't the MSM do polling afterwards to some who come out. What is the reasoning for the law. I think that if we just keep going with the status quo our votes will continue to be stolen. If everything was transparent it would not happen. Why are people thinking it stupid to tell who you voted for after the fact to protect the votes. They can't steal them electronically or manually if everyone knows who voted for who and how many voted for who. Just not understanding. Perhaps someone can explain this "law". Voting should be transparent.

I'd really love to see Bernie come out as being opposed to the secret ballot.

17. Many states have a certain distance from the polling station

in which candidates or party workers may not electioneer. You have to remove or cover buttons, shirts, etc when you pass that line. When you go to the polls, people are standing just outside the boundary to press leaflets, flyers, etc on you for their favored candidate or proposition. Low level candidates may still be there pressing the flesh.

After you vote, you are suppose to pass the boundary going out to redisplay your shirt, buttons, etc. The OP proposal is OK if they wait till they pass the boundary to do it. I believe the exit pollsters also have to saty outside the boundary.
