Isn't there some law prohibiting ads on election day? I thought

[napi21]

I remembered some law that forbids some kind of ads within a specific # of hours of the polls opening?

I just got an email from NewsMax begging for donations by 4PM today so Republican National Trust PAC can do more ad buys for TOMORROW!

1. nope

just distence from the polls, mostly 100' from them

[Why Syzygy]

2. PACs and 527s

are like the derivative market of elections. I don't know.

3. It's not a law, it was a tradition

some races still adhere to it

5. It's a tradition.

They said on the news earlier today that both Obama and McCain will be breaking a tradition by campaigning on election day. I think the only restriction is standing a certain distance from the polls when people go to vote.
