A little less than political question;

Isn't it illegal to photograph voters at the polls?

Yet Reuters posts this shot ...

Yes, but I thought taking a photo at a polling place was considered intimidation and deemed illegal.

I wonder what the left would do if the RNC set up a bunch of cameramen in Dade & Broward counties to photograph the voters faces.

If none of the wanted people showed up, for fear they'd be regognized, Bush would surely take those counies by landslide. (Okay, that last bit was intended as humor, so keep it light)

I also thought it was illegal to carry political endorsement signs at a polling place.

I see several in the picture.

I've seen a few news photos of people actually voting. I didn't see any faces or anything:

And in looking for that image that I had seen earlier, I found this again and it made me giggle:

I think every state is different Maybe? I really don't know if it's everwhere, but I think in Texas it's 100 feet from the door of the building where campaigning has to stop. I've seen Infrared Kastro bust some chops outside polling places before for unscrupulous campaigning (He was an election judge. I was just a lackey).
