A poll worker in the US city of Memphis, Tennessee was fired after turning away early voters wearing 'Black Lives Matter' and 'I Can't Breathe' shirts, an election official said. The worker was fired after a witness reported the incident to officials. Tennessee law does not prohibit statements such as "Black Lives Matter", Shelby County Election Commission spokeswoman said.
