[So, anywhere within 100 feet of a polling place is a no free speech zone. I think I read something, somewhere about there being a right to free speech in America. Where was that...]

It’s in the Bill of Rights. 1st Amendment.

It’s an absolute right that trumps all other rights and we should allow any group that wants to speak have their say on election day, inside the polling place and without restriction.

Of course nobody will be able to vote at all because of the solid mass of people all fighting and screaming to project the loudest opinions inside a polling place on election day, but that’s a small price to pay for liberty.

“It’s an absolute right that trumps all other rights’

I’d love to see a cite for that, but I don’t think you can find one.
