Can somebody tell me why public polling is not illegal? They are obviously prone to being tainted, and can unfairly affect the outcome of elections.

In sure, they represent a dangerous path to the abridgement of our right to free and fair elections.

Applause, applause, I couldn't agree more. Its almost as if pollsters are actively trying to manipulate the outcome of elections. Its a very dangerous path, you are absolutely right!

Voting it’s not a constitutional right. Show me where in the constitution such right is.

Polling would be illegal. If it demoralizing effects tended to help the Republicans.
