STAND BACK, POLLSTERS! ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FNC, and the AP are suing, um, the State of South Dakota(?) and asking a federal judge to strike down a law there that prohibits exit polling within 100 feet of a voting place. Their argument? The law violates First Amendment protections because it infringes upon news organizations' ability to gather information about elections and politics. [E&P] As if a few extra feet are the problem with exit polling.
