Isn’t it against the law to do electioneering inside a polling place? Isn’t that why they keep political partisans a certain distance away? Except for black panther dudes of course, they are allowed to get in people’s faces. But otherwise, I thought the law was that campaigning had to stay a certain distance away.
Maybe Michelle is an exception to the law, along with those black panther dudes.
Yes, it is. I believe every state has a law against it. I'm not sure if there is a federal law.

Yes. In Illinois, this is the law:
http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/ilstatutes/10/5/17/17-29
Sec. 17‑29. (a) No judge of election, pollwatcher, or other person shall, at any primary or election, do any electioneering or soliciting of votes or engage in any political discussion within any polling place, within 100 feet of any polling place, or, at the option of a church or private school, on any of the property of that church or private school that is a polling place; no person shall interrupt, hinder or oppose any voter while approaching within those areas for the purpose of voting.
Give me a few minutes, and I'll see if I can find if it's a criminal offense.
