Watch Bernie Sanders supporters booted AFTER Bill Clinton gives speech at polling station

When I was waiting to vote, I spotted a few "Make America Great Again" hats and one family all had "Cruz 2016" tshirts (the parents voted while the kids observed the process). My shirt is the one with the outline of Bernie's wild hair and glasses. It simply says "Bernie 2016".

Everyone was respectful of the voting process except the man at the door. As I first arrived at the building, he loudly warned me twice that I can't wear "that shirt" inside. I ignored him and walked right past him into the polling location. An election official had summoned the election judge after she observed the doorman shouting "They're going to kick you out!". That's when I (not knowing what was going to happen) told them they would have to forcibly remove me.

After explaining the situation, the election judge's opinion was that you are free to show your support for your candidate as long as it isn't distracting, intimidating, obscene, or otherwise inappropriate. If you come in with a shirt/hat, cast your vote, then leave - that's fine but if a whole group of people loiter around the polling location wearing one candidate's stuff, that's something else entirely.

According to the election judge, the man who attempted to intimidate me was only there to tell people to have their photo IDs ready. I filled out a complaint form on-site. I was given a document outlining the process of registering a complaint with the FEC. The judge said he would speak with the doorman directly, but I did not observe this during my visit.

I filed a complaint with the FEC later in the day. The process of filing a complaint is very specific. I hand-wrote a statement of facts, had it notarized at my bank with a "signed and sworn" affidavit, and placed the original statement into an envelope alongside three copies (as per instruction). It was mailed this evening. I'm not sure what happens now.
