There is a huge headline on drudge stating that Michelle Obama was caught campaigning at a polling place in Chicago.

MICHELLE CAMPAIGNED INSIDE POLLING PLACE?
Thu Oct 14 2010 1625 ET



First lady Michelle Obama may have violated Illinois law today -- when she engaged in political discussion at a polling place!

Mrs. Obama stopped off at the Martin Luther King Center on the south side of Chicago to cast an early vote.

After she finished at the voting machine, Obama went back to the desk and handed in her voting key.

She let voters including electrician Dennis Campbell, 56, take some photos with her.

"She was telling me how important it was to vote to keep her husband's agenda going," Campbell said.

According to the pool reporter at the scene, the conversation took place IN the voting center not far from the booths.

Illinois state law -- Sec. 17-29 (a) -- states: "No judge of election, pollwatcher, or other person shall, at any primary or election, do any electioneering or soliciting of votes or engage in any political discussion within any polling place, within 100 feet of any polling place."

Chalk it up as further evidence that she is either ignorant of our laws, or lacks respect for them. If it is true of course.

Ignorance of the law is not a defense. At least not for any of us!

I know, but dude. if she had a history of this, I'd say bang her out...but.

Why do I have a feeling that if she ignored that guy, the headlines would be about how she's a stuck up elitist.

If this story is true. I am not saying she should be charged or anything, But we damn sure can fault her for it.

yes, in the other thread on this someone posted that her father was a precinct captain, frankly I would expect that she should know this.
