4:04Now Playing"A Christian group in Texas is threatening to file a formal complaint with the Attorney General's office because a woman who lives near Austin was forced to cover up her "Vote the Bible" T-shirt after election officials suggested that it could be construed as illegal electioneering.
In a complaint to the Williamson Country Election Administrator, Texas Values President Jonathan Saenz said that Ms. Alva "Kay" Hill was told that her shirt "may be offensive" because it was an implicit suggestion to "vote Republican."
Texas Election Code § 85.036 states that "a person may not electioneer for or against any candidate, measure, or political party in or within 100 feet" of a polling place."* Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian argue whether "Vote the Bible" could be considered electioneering and whether or not the woman deserved to be banned.
