An electoral question.

Tomorrow is the last day of polling in the US midterms.

In the UK news broadcasters are very restricted on what they can say while the polls are open.

They cannot discuss how parties are doing or anything that could be seen as intering with the electoral process.

As such news reports tend to focus on amount of people voting, and photographs of pets outside polling stations.

Once the polls close, it's business as usual.

I was asking is that the same in America or will Fox news et al continue to broadcast their fascist bullshit all day tomorrow?

Thanks.

@izzythepush,
This is a genuine question.

I really don't know.

@Region Philbis,
Thanks I thought that might be the case.

It's impractical to have the ban during early voting which can last about two months.

Then you have time zones which we don't have.

It would be very hard keeping a ban on poltical voting because the polls are still open in one area after another has closed and announced the result.

@izzythepush,

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Burson v. Freeman (1992) that campaigning can only be limited on election day in a small area around the polling station. Any broader ban on speech would be unconstitutional.

Here in Germany, the Federal Election Act stipulates that no election campaigning may take place in buildings where voting is taking place.
Furthermore, no opinion polls or forecasts may be published before 6 pm on election day.
