Poll Workers Clash With Trump Supporters at Voting Sites

Reports from polling places across the U.S. indicate instances of conflict between voters supporting former President Donald Trump and poll workers enforcing election regulations. In Lee County, Alabama, a poll worker allegedly escorted a Trump supporter out for wearing a MAGA hat, prompting accusations of targeting. Similarly, in Battle Creek, Michigan, a voter clashed with staff after refusing to remove her Trump hat, leading to claims of assault. In Northern Kentucky, voters reported being ordered to remove or turn inside out Trump-themed shirts, despite state election officials clarifying that such attire is permissible. In Miami, a voter had to confront poll workers who initially insisted his MAGA hat was not allowed before they confirmed he could wear it. These incidents highlight ongoing tensions surrounding political expression at polling sites.
