VA Code 24.2-604(J) is the code section that specifically allows candidate apparel to be worn by voters at polling places:
“The provisions of subsections A and D shall not be construed to prohibit a person who approaches or enters the polling place for the purpose of voting from wearing a shirt, hat, or other apparel on which a candidate's name or a political slogan appears or from having a sticker or button attached to his apparel on which a candidate's name or a political slogan appears. This exemption shall not apply to candidates, representatives of candidates, or any other person who approaches or enters the polling place for any purpose other than voting.”
Wearing MAGA gear is a Constitutionally protected First Amendment activity and most states’ laws have exceptions for such.
You can’t campaign within a certain distance of the polls, but they can’t tell you what to wear.
This.
Here in Virginia just saw a dude voting with a MAGA flag as a cape on. All good

Correct. People are best to look up their own states polling rules.
In CA while voting you can where your MAGA swag or any other swag as long as it doesn't have names on them. Slogans are in play.
Poll watchers are not wear any swag.
I wore a Maga hat to vote in CA
