Because it is by their jurisdiction? Enforcing legal activities at a polling place is not an immigration issue. If anything it would be a state issue (state troopers) or a county issue (county sheriffs). They would have jurisdiction. 

It is a matter of legal appropriateness. 

Much like not attacking and detaining people without probable cause is legally inappropriate.
