Exit polls to be delayed in future elections

No. Most local electioneering laws are written to prevent people from campaigning at or near a polling place. It doesn't mater if the potential electioneer has voted, has yet to vote or will not vote at all. It applies to all.

Well no one bothers to hand out ice scrapers, rulers or calendars to folks heading out of the polls. The laws are in place, to allow people an unobstructed access to the polling place. The intent of the law was never an unobstructed exit. Talking to people after they voted is simple conversation, the time for campaigning has expired.

You know less regulation means more freedom.

No, your above statement is an anarchist's axiom, not a constitutionalist's axiom. Do you know why?

To me less regulation means more respect for our rights reserved in the Bill of Rights, thus more freedom. Less regulation means you can ride in the back of a pickup if you want. - I suppose it's the old give me a safely regulated society or give me death thing :)

As far as the anarchist go I do not know.

No, the goal of regulating activity around a public polling place is to protect the unalienable rights of those who are using public property to vote against those who don't have an unalienable right to do what ever they choose on public property

By "those who don't have an unalienable right to do what ever they choose on public property" are you saying those who do not have the freedom to engage in conversation with their fellow citizens on public property?
