Re: Fear and Voting at the Church (4.00 / 6)

Izzy, this is outrageous on so many levels. Voting in a church? I've never heard of such a thing. And I think polling stations really are supposed to be in your community. It sounds like someone's trying to depress voter turnout in your community. Who decides where polling stations go? Is it your local officials, or statewide ones?

Grrrr.

I know! Those are all my questions, too, and I realized I don't have the answers to any of them, but Evelo gave me the number to call.

Re: Fear and Voting at the Church (4.00 / 3)

Well, I voted in an Elks Lodge! Wonder what secret things go on there to influence elections? Of course your fear of voting in a church is as irrational as my distaste for elks. If I sincerely believed the election processes were not being overseen by good citizens, election officials, and party loyalists, regardless of where the vote is held, I wouldn't bother to vote at all. I look forward to voting in one of the nearby mosque's or synagogues some day.

But seriously, what's wrong with the perfectly good tax payer supported school buildings in your area? They are usually easy to find.

I vote in a church, too.

It is indeed ridiculous.
