In 2008, the Houston Obama voter protection team circulated a wonderful legal memo on the use of toilet plungers as electioneering. A candidate bought a couple of hundred toilet plungers, put ribbons on them with McCain's name and tried to leave these plungers in the polling places. At the time, Joe the Plumber was big. We got the election officials to agree to ban these plungers as electioneering.

Being an election law/voter protection attorney can be amusing.
