The article above talks about a situation where a poll worker in Memphis, Tennessee turned away several voters who were wearing "Black Lives Matter" and "I Can't Breath" shirts. This article mentions that according to Tennessee law, voters are not allowed to wear anything with the name of a candidate or political party, but specifically says that Tennessee law says that "Black Lives Matter" is not prohibited.
This relates to the six freedoms of the First Amendment because this is considered freedom of speech. According to the article, this worker thought the statements on the shirts were tied to the Democratic party, but the worker was still fired for what happened.
