Make it illegal to announce exit poll and election results until after the very last poll has closed in every state.

Created by B.R. on November 13, 2012

The purpose for Election rules reform would be to help make everyone feel as their vote counts. Make it against the law for media to release election results to the public until all 50 states voting poll locations have closed and have at least a total of 50 percent of their counts ready to report. Thus giving everyone across this great nation a sense of participation in the results. There is nothing more disheartening than to hear that the election has been decided while your still standing in line waiting to cast your ballot. Makes it seem like a mute point and right that has been stripped away from you. This would help eliminate this feeling of frustration for millions of American Citizens and help increase election day participation.
