Excuse me for being dense, but as long as Congress is making laws, why
don't they simply make it illegal to broadcast any election results
until the polls are closed?  Word-of-mouth is OK, only mass media need
be affected (Radio, TV, NewsPapers).

If they make it a treasonable offense, maybe we'll get a chance to shoot
some of those stupid broadcasters!

Perhaps this discussion should move to *.politics
