Abstract

This article will investigate the disruption created by the early election predictions. It will evaluate the usefulness and lawfulness of a federal enactment that would prevent the networks from disseminating exit polling data on Presidential elections prematurely. It will conclude that such restraints do not contravene the First Amendment, or other provisions of the Constitution of the United States.
