Man votes shirtless after being told to remove Trump shirt

MURRELLS INLET, SC (CNN) — A man decided to vote shirtless in South Carolina after he was told he couldn’t wear a Donald Trump t-shirt at the poll.

It happened at the Murrells Inlet-Garden City Fire Department.

A bystander says the man took the shirt off, voted, then came out and put it back on.

A South Carolina Election Commission spokesman says it was all a mistake and the shirt did not violate voting guidelines.

He said voters are not allowed to have campaign materials for candidates in this election and of course President Trump is not on the ballot.

The commission spokesman called it an “understandable mistake,” noting poll manager are volunteers who work hard and are trying to do the right thing.
