Canada Police Execute Search Warrant over Election Results

Anonymous Coward writes "According to this article from the Vancouver Sun, a Canadian man's home was raided Friday by police because he posted the results of the Canadian election on his website. What is this world coming to when publishing the truth has become a crime? Is it only a matter of time before laws like this one creep south into the United States?" It's an interesting question. (See previous story.) The government certainly has a strong interest in trying to create a fair elections process, but perhaps this is a bit overzealous. It's worth noting that the news agencies in the United States are withdrawing from the exit-polling association that they formed many years ago to conduct coordinated exit polls after major elections (and embargo the results until the polls close), so the next U.S. election may see a hodge-podge of advance reporting as well.
