You said you were across the street. Were you within the "no electioneering" zone?jbirds1210 wrote:I was told to leave the area by a toll worker.

If not, I believe I'd have had to query the poll worker about his authority to tell you to move along. I don't see the right to vote and the right to converse being in conflict if you're out of the restricted zone.
But, that's just me. I value my right to bull on the street, and I take great umbrage at self-appointed petty dictators.
