Political Campaigning Near A Designated Voting Location

I voted this morning at the Northampton Township Building-District 8. Members of politcal parties were campaigning notably withiin the building. Several were violating election laws by campaigning within 10 feet of the entrance where I and others were voting. I requested the "election" supervisor ask the violaters to leave.  He refused telling me "I run the show..." He further stated that he did not need to be "harrassed" and repeatedly told me that I did not like this to call the Board of Elections. I have called and advised them of this violation and his refusal to enforce the law. I hope others who have experienced/seen these violations were report them and ask for enforcement of the law. Ideally I think we need a tougher law prohibiting any campaigning within 100 feet of any entrance of a voting location. Thank you. Murray Zuckerman Richboro.
