A Douglasville, Georgia man in line for early voting was asked to remove his ball cap with a "NRA Instructor" logo because it was perceived as "campaigning."

A Fox 5 Atlanta news report states that Bundy Cobb has worn the same hat during many previous voting sessions without protest. For some reason, this time was different. He complied with the request but defended his choice of headwear to a reporter:

It's definitely not campaigning and it's absolutely infringing on my rights to express myself. All this hat does is advertise that I'm an instructor, certified by the NRA and that's all. It doesn't endorse any candidate or anything else.

Douglas County Board of Elections' Laurie Fulton said "an overabundance of caution" was used so that no one could "interpret favoritism:"

NRA is not particularly -- it's not, you know, a particular candidate. But the courts have found that anything that suggests, associated with the NRA in many peoples' perception is associated with the Republican Party. So, in an overabundance of caution, Mr. Cobb was asked to remove the hat so that no one could interpret that we were favoring -- playing any favoritism toward one party over the other.

Fulton added that this is the second time in a week that a voter was asked to remove a hat with a National Rifle Association logo because it offended someone at the polls.
