Some people waiting in line to cast early votes in Missouri took exception to some activists pushing their voting preferences in the lines.

They should have to stay away from people, period. Set up a table for anyone who is interested, they can come to you.

[danstubbs]

And I have the right to tell her to get lost.

[knelle]

Where I vote you’re not even allowed to have signs or material anywhere in site of people standing in line.

[rbonito]

I think it should be illegal for people to harass voting people and I don't understand why there's so many lines

[SnakeRoadComicsOfficial]

Thank God I'm in a small town. None of this crap happening.

[bettersteps]

The rule should be 25 feet away from the people in line. Why protect the distance from the door? Protect the voter.

[sarahp]

Seems to me the law should prohibit any and all political activity within 1/2 mile of all polling places. Problem solved.

I went and voted yesterday. It was peaceful, quiet, and orderly as it should be.

[doggovision]

Anyone who thinks they're going to change your mind while you're already standing in line to vote is living in a fools paradise.

[alfonsecoppola]

should be further away from polling center

[damonkatos]

It’s a 100 ft in Texas and we’re whacko.

[cru]

Just fart that usually gets them to leave.

[Overtaxed]

It would encourage me to not vote in their favor

[westtrindy]

People should not be allowed to harass others outside any voting facility, period. People should feel safe and comfortable at all times.

[userb]

I am glad people are voting. Just say "no thank you, I am not interested".

[Pencil-op]

I’d be very annoyed if I were in that line and had her telling me about amendments. So she thinks she’s better informed than anyone else?

[JaredMerlin]

I don't care who they are or what they're there for. People in line need to be left alone. If they do not understand the amendments, so be it. If someone asked that woman, that's different but she should not be approaching anyone.

[ndigochld]

As Missourians were Americans and we love each other. We all want a prosperous future everyone.

[prall]

Their law is ridiculous. No one should be allowed to walk up to people in line to influence a vote on any matter on the ballot.

[Jut]

One of the main reasons for the First Amendment is to protect obnoxious political speech. Every American shouldn't get out of high school without studying the constitution and amendments for an entire year.
