Why not!  What does freedom of the press mean?  What if polling place 
infringements need to be documented?

As long as we are discussing this, I don't understand why polling places 
are now not allowed to ask for identification.  That would seem to me to be 
an important part of freedom and voting rights.  If you don't identify 
yourself at a particular polling place, what is to keep you from voting 
over and over at other polling places or to keep another from voting in 
your place?  And we are trying to teach the people of Afghanistan how to 
register and vote in a democratic society?  Maybe we need to learn more 
about insuring one vote for one person!

Democracy has run amuck here but I'm not sure where it's any better!  I'm 
about ready to dig my cave and become a hermit (but global warming will 
result in my cave being flooded soon).
