Florida man charged with wearing clown mask, reports Howard. more story.
What's the got to do with elections? Lower courts are split on whether wearing a mask, without other criminal activity, is free speech along the lines of McIntyre and Talley.
A New York case upheld a conviction. An Indiana case, AKKKK v Goshen, overturned one.
In October 2008, Tampa police arrested Walsh Ian Nichols after he was spotted wearing a Batman mask in Ybor City.
A judge dismissed the charges against the Caped Crusader and ordered police to return Nichols' custom-made cowl.
This case is unlikely to result in a published opinion.
Jay Thomas tells a story about the time he drove the lone ranger to the airport, that this reminded me of somehow. NSFW, you'll laugh too much.
