This law is perfectly constitutional as Article I, Section 4 of the constitution clearly gives Congress the right to regulate the manner of holding elections.

Really!? This law says a 60-day limitation and that is OK in your opinion. So, would 180-days be similarly constitutional? How about 2 years?

If Congress can restrict speech, even for one day, then they can ultimately restrict all speech. That certainly was not the intention of the founding fathers and it is not included in any intelligent reading of the Constitution.
