People wearing a Royals cap or a Chiefs shirt will not be turned away from the polls on Tuesday, as some were beginning to fear.
Two tax issues on the Jackson County ballot would fund improvements to Kauffman and Arrowhead stadiums and help pay for a rolling roof. This week many voters have been raising questions about allowable attire at the voting machines.
Kansas City Mayor Kay Barnes and Jackson County Executive Katheryn Shields, both supporters of the tax measures, on Friday jointly asked election officials for clarification.
Election board directors said Friday that a simple cap or shirt would not be considered electioneering.
Only if voters wore or carried a message that urged a yes or no vote on the taxes would they be turned away. State law prohibits electioneering within 25 feet of the door of a polling place.

What about San Antonio Royals shirts?

Here's to a blowout of the Royals on opening day. It's only one game, but best to leave voters with a sour taste in their mouths

By July folks will be saying "Omg...I can't believe we just gave these doofs all that money...oie oie oie..."
Not that I don't enjoy going to games. It's just going to sting a bit later.
