The incident occurred on October 26 at a firehouse in Hamilton Township, about five miles east of Trenton, where the woman was casting her ballot early.

Witnesses reported that poll workers informed the woman that her pro-Trump apparel violated Jersey’s electioneering law, which prohibits any political gear that could be interpreted as support for or opposition to a candidate.

Jill Moyer, chairperson of the Mercer County Board of Elections, offered to hold the woman’s place in line while she retrieved a jacket from her car.

A Reddit post, now deleted, featured the woman wearing silver hoop earrings and a nude bra, which drew the attention of various social media users, including Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance. Vance commented, “What a patriot,” while others expressed mixed opinions on the incident.

One user praised the woman’s actions, saying, “I’d buy that lady a beer.” At the same time, another criticised her behaviour, stating, “Why can’t people just respect the rules and stop treating the workers disrespectfully?” Concerns over electioneering laws, which vary by state, have prompted discussions among voters who may not be aware of these regulations.

In a related incident, another New Jersey voter was asked to remove her “Handmaid’s Tale” costume before voting, highlighting the contentious political climate surrounding elections.

Elsewhere, a brawl erupted at a South Carolina polling site when a man wearing a “Let’s Go Brandon” hat, a phrase often interpreted as disrespectful to President Biden, confronted poll workers. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is currently investigating the altercation.

Unlike New Jersey, New York allows voters to wear political apparel, provided it does not explicitly advocate for or against a candidate or ballot proposal. Officials from the New York State Board of Elections clarified that the law aims to prevent political campaigns from intruding into polling places rather than prohibiting political expression outright.
