A poll worker in Rogers, Minnesota, was photographed wearing a white T-shirt reading “Problem Solved” with red blood splatters near the collar and down the chest, according to a photo obtained by Alpha News senior reporter Liz Collin.
The image, taken Saturday at the Rogers fire station community room in Hennepin County, shows a woman seated at a table with a laptop, scanner, papers, and other election equipment, wearing the shirt under a lanyard.

Speculation is that it celebrates the assassination of Charlie Kirk or other assassinations; the Halloween design has been controversial for years.

An American flag is visible in the background.
The shirts have gone viral in the past after being worn by teachers and speculated to have been a nod to Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Hennepin County told Alpha News it forwarded the concern to the city clerk in Rogers for review.
In its statement, the county cited Minnesota Statutes 211B.11, which prohibits wearing, displaying, or distributing items in a polling place that show the name, likeness, logo, or slogan of a candidate on the ballot; the number, title, subject, slogan, or logo of a ballot question; or the name, logo, or slogan of a political party represented by a candidate on the ballot.
The county noted that most workers at polling places in Hennepin County are election judges hired by the municipality.
The statement continued: “Hennepin County expects polling places to be welcoming and free from intimidation, harassment, or disruption for voters and election workers alike… Anyone with concerns about conduct at a polling place should bring them to the attention of the head election judge or city clerk’s office.”
The image comes on the same day The Gateway Pundit detailed Hennepin County’s decision to bar Department of Justice election monitors from inside Minneapolis-area polling places for today’s midterm election.
The county requires federal staff to remain outside the state’s 100-foot boundary, in plain clothes, and limits them to voluntary interviews with voters after they leave.
The restriction, confirmed by Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty’s office, rests on Minnesota Statute § 204C.06 and leaves the DOJ unable to directly observe the interior of polling places in the state’s largest county.
Hennepin County has faced repeated scrutiny over election administration, ballot handling, and related issues, including national attention tied to concerns over noncitizen voting and concentrated immigrant communities in Minneapolis.
Minnesota law generally bars campaign materials, including certain apparel, inside polling places or within 100 feet of the building to maintain a neutral environment free of intimidation or influence.
Election judges and official challengers are themselves prohibited from displaying campaign material.
The Rogers photo has prompted calls online to remove or discipline the individual, with critics arguing the shirt creates an atmosphere inconsistent with neutral election administration.
TPUSA’s Jack Posobiec called for the woman to be arrested.

The city clerk in Rogers is now reviewing the matter.
Local officials have not released a further public statement on the specific shirt or any personnel action as of early Tuesday afternoon.
The incident adds to ongoing questions about the appearance and conduct of election workers in Hennepin County on Election Day.
