I would think having pollsters in the booth is pretty outrageous. I never assumed they would be in the polling place, always outside.
No, I didn't say inside "polling boths".
Electioneering is regulated. People can't electioneer within a certain distance of a poll on election day. Exit polling should be regulated in such a manner.
The Electioneering laws apply to people going in to vote. After they vote the laws do not apply.
I am not sure I am for any expansion of government regulations.
You know less regulation means more freedom.
Regulation of Exit polls is just the camels nose under the tent. Just like the smoking ban started only on airplane flights under two hours, now there are bans on smoking in parks...
The goal of those pushing to regulate Exit polls is control their effects later down stream, not to protect people from having to say "no" to a pollster.
