"Article I, Section 4 of the US constitution gives Congress the right to regulate elections."

No it does not, anywhere within the relm of the present meaning and disscusion. Here is that section:

"Section 4. The times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of choosing Senators.

The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by law appoint a different day."

"You can't go into a polling place and start to give a speech for a candidate now can you? "

That is not only the hour, the voting is actually occuring at that time. "Nonsense piled on nonsense is still nonsense."

I did not do that. Congress, the President(Bush)) and 5 on the SCOTUS did.

Congress can regulate the "Manner" of holding elections this clearly falls within that power.
