WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has agreed to determine whether a Minnesota statute that prohibits wearing political apparel in polling places is unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court said last week it will take a case challenging the law.
Several groups sued just before the 2010 election to try to ensure officials would not bar them from wearing tea party apparel to the polls.
Lower courts upheld Minnesota’s law barring political apparel at voting places, saying it’s reasonable.
