    More of a reason why the election moratorium should be extended to newspapers too.

    Ok, to put it in context.. how many Metro's were handed out today? Thousands an hour would be my assumption.. The likelyhood of those handing them out being near a polling station.. somewhat reasonable as they tend to go to places of high foot traffic.. Now the likelyhood of one of them ending up ooutside a station as the person holding it goes in to vote or even better the person just bringing it in..

    Thats why it is a problem..

    On the other hand, the forbidding of such impinges on Freedom of Expression; a right that is at the core of various human rights conventions.
