It doesn't say in the Constitution anywhere that people can keep records of past elections and make maps of how the results went, or that you can post on a message board connected to the site containing those results. Therefore Dave Leip is violating the constitution.

I think it goes somewhere under freedom of speech, the press, and association.

Technically, as the founding fathers made no mention of the 'internet', applying those freedoms to internet usage would be a form of judicial activism.  (not that I have a problem with it or anything).

Well, they had no concept of the television either, but the media is protected on there.
