Pro-Trump outfits get recall election worker tossed at California poll, officials say

A worker at a California polling place during Tuesday’s recall election had to be sent home after repeatedly wearing clothing supporting former President Donald Trump, officials say.

Photos posted online by West Hollywood voters show the man in a “Trump Train” face mask, Trump hat and “Where’s Hunter?” T-shirt, referring to baseless accusations against President Joe Biden’s son by the former president.

“This worker was contacted after this was reported and advised that the attire was not appropriate,” read a later Twitter post by the office of the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. “He is no longer serving as an election worker.”

California law prohibits electioneering at polling places. Voters cast ballots Tuesday in a recall election against Gov. Gavin Newsom, which failed.

The same man had shown up Monday at the polling place in Trump campaign regalia and was told not to wear it, spokesperson Mike Sanchez told KTLA.

“He was counseled and told not to wear anything political, but he still came wearing it,” Sanchez told the station. “Because of his response and not complying with the rules, he was released.”

County election offices typically hire extra workers from the community to staff polling places on election day.

Photos of the man before his dismissal prompted outrage online.
