An elderly woman in a New Jersey township cast her vote wearing just a bra after being told she had to remove her MAGA hat and Donald Trump shirt.
According to NJ.com, the incident happened at the Colonial Fire House in Hamilton Township during early voting on Oct. 26.
Jill Moyer, head of the Mercer County Board of Elections, recalled telling the woman to remove the political swag.
Under New Jersey law, displaying campaign materials or soliciting support for any candidate, party, or public matter is prohibited within polling locations, rooms, or within 100 feet of the entrance or a ballot drop box during elections.
“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,” she told the outlet.

But before she could finish, the woman ripped off her shirt, “flung it around,” and began hurling insults at the poll workers.
The woman quickly voted in only her bra and reportedly took off before police were able to make it to the scene.
On her way out, a witness reported she waved her middle finger and shouted, “Suck my c**t” to polling staff.
A witness felt sympathy for the volunteers, saying, “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 woman’s antics went viral and even caught the attention of Republican VP candidate JD Vance, who commented, “What a patriot.”
In another instance, a woman in Gloucester Township went to vote in in a “Handmaid’s Tale” outfit, which is linked to female oppression in pop culture. She was asked to remove the getup, but put it back on after casting her ballot.
