I'm for free speech and all (which I believe is the normal claimed defense), but I think that election results should be sealed until EVERY polling station has closed.

The people reporting results aren't technology-packing heroes (which is often the self-promoting claim), they're idiots. Why not go setup your Marijuana Party pamphlets next to the voting booth as well?

I would love to see the full weight of the law come down on these people.
