From Boca Raton, Florida:

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — A woman attempting to vote in West Boca Raton this morning was initially prohibited from entering the polling place because she was wearing a tee shirt with the letters MIT.

BocaNewsNow.com has heard from multiple sources that an election supervisor at the polling place ultimately realized that MIT stands for “Massachusetts Institute of Technology” — a school where students tend to know how to spell — and was not a campaign shirt for the Republican candidate, who spells his name MITT.

Campaigning is not permitted within several yards of a polling place.

The woman was ultimately allowed to vote.

Maybe they thought MIT stood for “Mitt Is Terrific”

  1. She should have worn the “God said….[Maxwell’s Equations]…and there was light” T-shirt instead.

  2. Pretty funny. I was thinking of testing my free speech at the polls, but the 5th Circuit’s upheld T-shirt bans.

  3. Forget it, Jake. It’s Florida.

  4. wow, you can’t make this stuff up.

  5. Forget it, Jake. It’s Florida.

    Actually it’s Boca. If you paid 3 million for a condo that at best could fetch 1 million you’d be a bit crazy too.

    As would your local news outlets. And Doug.
