I mean, everyone who's voting and everyone who's running is going to be American aren't they, so wtf? As Frownland would say, that's whack.
I'm honestly not sure of the specific restrictions, but I believe using the flag for election campaigns is supposed to be frowned upon. US flag etiquette is especially militant so yeah it's weird, but nobody really bothers with it or even knows about it.
