People should have no restrictions on their right to say anything at all, unless it will provoke "imminent lawlessness."

It should be, if not already, considered illegal fraud to lie about anything concerning an official government function, as it undermines the actual government.
Besides, if we knew who will or will not be voting because of fake ballot stations or misdirection, it opens up the way for these votes to be used fraudulently.
