There is truth in what you say

Sadly, you are right. However, from previous experience, I do know that exit/entry polls and interviews require a minimum distance from the polling place (regular filming has no such restrictions) and at the polling place near me, they managed to get rid of signs on neighbors' lawns.

Electioneering next to a polling place, however, is not allowed not so much because of influence but because of possible intimidation as well. It's hard enough getting people to vote, making a polling place no longer "sacred" by allowing for such things would end up being disastrous and nasty. I had enough of that leading up to the election (and dear lord, the McCain and Obama supporters in this area certainly loved to scream their lungs out).
