Speeches are not banned at any time.

Laws already created the catagory of speech crimes though they are called violations of election laws such as: giving speeches within a polling place; passing out campaign literature within 100 yards of a polling place; putting up posters within 100 yards of a polling place; buying votes (why should that be illegal?); or having sample ballots showing how to vote RAT posted within the polling place.

Advertizing is part of a "manner" of holding elections.

Once the equating of that which is run by the state to that which is not state-run is accepted, that which is not run by the state will be. (polling place = advertising?)

That is a deliberate misinterpretation of my remark.

Unless you are actively interefering with a voter who is attempting to enter a ballot, I see no cause for police intervention.

No, its not a government activity, its private speech. Is Free Republic a "manner" of holding elections because money is coupled with speech?
