Brett Bartlett Mauthe was stopped before he could cast his ballot. He was asked by poll workers to remove the Trump hat and turn his ?deplorables? T-shirt inside out, he refused.
?He wanted to take a stand,? Bulverde Police Chief Gary Haecker told the Herald-Zeitung. ?Unfortunately, he was arrested.?
According to the election code, not just in Texas but in all jurisdictions across the country, campaigning for or promoting a political candidate within a designated space around a polling place is prohibited. In Comal County, that?s 100 feet. The crime is electioneering, police said.
Several Donald Trump supporters have been arrested for committing voter fraud and other elections violations, according to several news reports.
