By campaigning for her husband did Michelle Obama break Illinois election Laws?
"Michelle Obama reportedly violated Illinois election laws by encouraging voters to support President Obama at a polling place in Chicago Thursday morning.
Election laws in Illinois prohibit anyone from engaging in “any political discussion within any polling place,” or “within 100 feet of any polling place.”
The first lady was reportedly speaking with other voters and urged them to keep President Obama’s agenda going."

(10 ILCS 5/17‑29) (from Ch. 46, par. 17‑29)
Sec. 17‑29. (a) No judge of election, pollwatcher, or other person shall, at any primary or election, do any electioneering or soliciting of votes or engage in any political discussion within any polling place, within 100 feet of any polling place.
