MICHELLE CAMPAIGNED INSIDE POLLING PLACE? Thu Oct 14 2010 16:19:25 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, saying "Make sure everybody's voting early." 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) -- says "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."
