So now it is illegal to provide a public forum with specific capabilities. Is it also illegal for me to privately arrange this with a particular sheeHHHHvoter from the other state ? Gangs can legally call for voters to vote for them and not for the other gang, but voters themselves cannot talk to each other and make arrangements that they see fit.
