So she took it off and voted topless.

That election official was likely a right wing nut job trying to stop a citizen voting because she wasn't going to vote for his groppenfuhrer.
I would say that was a gross misuse of election law and if I were the citizen involved, I'd complain him.
I think (but I could be wrong) that the US has laws prohibiting electioneering at or near a polling station.

Edit: I looked it up and found this:
Quote:If you are planning to wear a hat, t-shirt, button, or anything else in support of your favorite candidate, please remember to cover or remove those items before entering the polls. Due to a recent change in law, these items are also not allowed inside the "No Electioneering Zone." This is in accordance with New Hampshire State Law (RSA) 659:43 relative to "Distributing Campaign Materials at Polling Place."
So, it seems as if the moderator was simply doing what he’s supposed to do, and there doesn’t seem to be any reason to tag him as ‘a right wing nut job’. In any case, the woman was allowed to vote.
