I have long believed that one of the primary purposes of polls is to let Democrats know how many votes they need to find/manufacture in order to win in closely-contested races. (Think Angle-Reid.) Ballots that have been marked in advance and stored somewhere suddenly and miraculously show up after the election and get counted. Poof - the Democrat wins every time.

We can't (and perhaps, shouldn't) stop polling from occurring. But we can INSIST that there will be no extension of voting hours for any reason, and ONLY THOSE BALLOTS THAT HAVE BEEN TURNED IN BY POLL-CLOSING TIME WILL BE COUNTED.

(If Iraqis can risk their lives, literally, to stand in line to vote, then Americans can make time to vote on election day, or not at all!)
