Judge Rules Voters Can Wear WWE Paraphernalia to Polls

A federal judge today ordered that no one be barred from wearing clothing or paraphernalia related to World Wrestling Entertainment.

U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton issued the order in response to a lawsuit filed by WWE Chairman Vincent McMahon against Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz.

Arterton ruled that Bysiewicz and other election officials “shall not apply the election laws of the state of Connecticut to prohibit Plaintiff and other voters from wearing WWE clothing, paraphernalia or merchandise within 75 feet of polling places on November 2, 2010.”

“I am pleased that Connecticut voters have had their freedom of expression to wear WWE merchandise and their right to vote restored,” McMahon said in a press release.
