A woman in New Jersey ripped off her clothes before casting her vote in her bra on Oct. 26 after an election official confronted her over her attire supporting 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, NJ Advance Media reported.
The voter in Hamilton Township, who arrived at her polling station on the Garden State’s first day of in-person early voting wearing a Trump t-shirt and a MAGA hat, became agitated when poll workers informed her attire promoting political candidates was prohibited, according to NJ Advance Media.
That’s what’s up.
If they would had told me to take my Trump shirt off. I’d been voting in my Bra too! 😂🔥#TrumpVance2024 #DonaldTrump2024 #MondayMood pic.twitter.com/kyMpl4jehg— Michelle Sudz 🇺🇸 (@michellesudz12) October 29, 2024
The unidentified voter took off her shirt in front of a long line of voters in the Colonial Fire House, flung the shirt around and, after being confronted, hastily voted after hurling “nasty” names at election workers, Mercer County Board of Elections Chairwoman Jill Moyer claimed to the outlet.
“I asked her to remove her hat and said, ‘If you want to go get a jacket from your car, I will hold your place in line or you could go into the bathroom to turn the shirt inside out,’” Moyer said. “Before I could get it all out, she took off her shirt and flung it around.”
New Jersey law states people are not allowed to “distribute or display any circular or printed matter or offer any suggestion or solicit any support for any candidate, party or public question within the polling place or room or within a distance of 100 feet of the outside entrance to such polling place or room, or within 100 feet of a ballot drop box in use during the conduct of an election.”
The shirtless woman left the building as police were being called, Moyer told the outlet.
Another witness who captured a photo of the apparently topless Trump supporter said she put her shirt back on inside-out and donned her MAGA hat before leaving.
“She gave the finger and said, ‘Suck my c**t,’” a witness said, according to the New York Post.
“I felt so bad for (the poll workers). They’re just trying to do their jobs and people are saying this god-awful stuff,” the witness added, according to NJ Advance Media.
Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance expressed support for the woman later that day in response to a since-deleted tweet.
What a patriot. https://t.co/lJBNMhZuAZ
