Sec. 61.003. ELECTIONEERING AND LOITERING NEAR POLLING PLACE.
(a) A person commits an offense if, during the voting period and within 100 feet of an outside door through which a voter may enter the building in which a polling place is located, the person:
(1) loiters; or
(2) electioneers for or against any candidate, measure, or political party.
(a-1) The entity that owns or controls a public building being used as a polling place may not, at any time during the voting period, prohibit electioneering on the building's premises outside of the area described in Subsection (a), but may enact reasonable regulations concerning the time, place, and manner of electioneering.
(b) In this section:
(1) "Electioneering" includes the posting, use, or distribution of political signs or literature. The term does not include the distribution of a notice of a party convention authorized under Section 172.1114.
So what they'd be stopping her for is having a "sign" on her body. I suspect a court would ultimately permit someone to be tatted up and vote, and in the worst case make them cover it up.
Bottom line: if you have political tattoos, I'd advise putting a covering over them in the same manner some athletes have to do in certain leagues. Unless you want to make an example and initiate a Supreme Court case.
Supreme court strongly ruled that MAGA hats are federally protected in 2018 midterms because "TRUMP WAS NOT RUNNING" and electioneering is NOT mere voting.
I printed out the 34 page scotus rule and AT POLLING SITE battled State Police, and on voice phone the State AG and main Election head for 40 minutes! I made them look up the VERY CLEAR and PRECISE SCOTUS ruling on 2018 MAGA Hats. They agreed I was right!!! They told the state cops to stand down.
I proudly wore my MAGA HAT non stop while voting, and took my sweet time leaving, smiling and laughing.
I fought the Democrat regime and won.
MINNESOTA VOTERS ALLIANCE et al v. MANSKY et al, No. 16–1435. Argued February 28, 2018 — Decided June 14, 2018
In its opinion, the court said that MAGA hats and "#MeToo" pins should be allowed to be visible on voters in polling places across the USA.
10 states have old UNCONSTITUTIONAL restrictions on voters "non-issue" politically tinged apparel, soon to be unenforced or dropped I assume (for MAGA hats) :
The rest have general laws not specifically attempting to cover MAGA hats at a poll location.
Now that there is a fresh SCOTUS ruling, anyone arrested or banned from voting can sue for MILLIONS of DOLLARS for having a CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATION upon their free speech and/or right to vote.
Telling the sheriff : "The Supreme Court Ruling MINNESOTA VOTERS ALLIANCE v. MANSKY June 2018 Guarantees my Civil Right to wear my MAGA hat while voting! You are violating my Rights! I demand to speak to your supervisor!:
And hope they still arrest you... then KA-CHING!!!! PAYDAY!!!! At least a million dollars I suspect. And it will not cost you a cent to sue for the money (civil rights apportionment rules apply).
It might take up to 5 years to collect but the payday will be huge, I guarantee it. Way better odds than winning the lottery.
Have a voice recorder running in your pocket (Video is ILLEGAL AS HELL in polling place). The audio will guarantee your huge payday. , especially if you cite the SCOTUS ruling and the magic phrase "my civil rights".
You won't be allowed to loiter in any way AFTER VOTING or it slightly might cross into "electioneering" insinuations. But being barred from voting is a mammoth payday. If the election is close and you are arrested it becomes national news.
Buy and Wear a red MAGA HAT while voting (If election not for Trump)!!
Wear your MAGA Hat, in elections lacking Trump on the ballot. Print out the SCOTUS ruling above and keep it on you, and support American Freedom!
= = = =
MAGA is legal.
TL/DR: You are wrong, I gave link to a full recent 2018 SCOTUS ruling on MAGA hats... but ONLY for elections when Trump is not running on printed ballot. In 2024 many states would block you but in 2026 and later Fed law demands MAGA Hats permitted
Most states have a "no electioneering" provision. For example:

So what they'd be stopping her for is having a "sign" on her body. I suspect a court would ultimately permit someone to be tatted up and vote, and in the worst case make them cover it up.
Bottom line: if you have political tattoos, I'd advise putting a covering over them in the same manner some athletes have to do in certain leagues. Unless you want to make an example and initiate a Supreme Court case.
IMO the court has better things to consider...
