WTF? Hmmmm...flynn23, you really have little understanding of anything consisting of flesh and blood. Our nation has always maintained a policy of protecting voting centers from turning into circuses. The only two things that you are allowed to do there are vote and volunteer to help people vote. You aren't allowed to bring cellphones, children, or cameras into the voting booth. You aren't allowed to campaign or loiter either. It helps establish order. God knows, if Kerry lost by a few votes, and the press were haraunging the voters waiting to vote, then you and your party would cry foul and blame them for distracting your voters. Be glad there isn't anything else to distract democrats into voting for the likes of Buchanan.
