WWE News: Vince McMahon suing the Secretary of State in Connecticut

WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon announced on Tuesday that he has filed a lawsuit against Connecticut Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz, who previously announced that poll registrars have the right to ask voters to cover up WWE logos.

McMahon issued the following statement on the WWE corporate website: "On behalf of myself, my company, WWE fans and any Connecticut citizen who wants to exercise their constitutional right to vote, I have filed a lawsuit today asserting that Susan Bysiewicz’s directive that allows poll workers to refuse registered voters wearing WWE merchandise the right to vote is a flagrant act of censorship and discrimination."

Powell's POV: Wow, it just gets more insane by the minute, as Vince continues to play the victim. This will generate media attention one week out from the election, but I wonder how many voters will be turned off by the lawsuit.

If I read the news story correctly, registrars simply have the right to ask voters who show up in WWE merchandise to cover the logos. This came up during the California gubernatorial race when voters were discouraged from wearing "Terminator" logos because it was seen as advertising for then-candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger.
