Eighth Circuit -- Minnesota Majority v. Joe Mansky

Polling place is a nonpublic forum.  Restriction on political statements (t-shirts, etc) upheld.

Dismissal of as-applied challenge reversed, as court improperly considered materials outside the pleadings.

Void-for-vagueness requires deliberate indifference -- the statute empowering polling-place workers to enforce the rules did not rise to this level.
