From the line or the location?
Because there were Obama supporters within two feet of the polling line and within 20 feet of my polling place (though they were about 100 feet from the actual entrance)

Suppose to be 100 feet.
It was pretty funny on the radio this morning they talking about the L.A. mayor campaigning and trying to take photo ops like 10 feet from voters because it looks good. So this host was talking about going down there and arresting him. Then they interview this little six year old boy who said 'i like McCain'. The host of the show asked the interviewer how far the boy was away from voters and she said '50 feet'. Host said 'I'm going to arrest him too'.
