Wait. Are yall’s polling places libraries, not churches?
Churches? For real? Never occurred to me that was a possibility. Where are you from?
In my neck of the woods it's city hall and schools. Public, secular buildings.
I was thinking the same thing. I’ve only ever seen local voting in various schools and municipal buildings, so i looked up my local precincts:
- 60% vote in churches (though each church serves two precincts…)
- none vote in schools.
At first I thought could be because the schools have tightened up security in recent years when it comes to visitors, but in next zone over in the same school district:
- 75% of the precincts vote at schools
- none in churches.
Kansas, where it is a mix of churches and government buildings.
I vote in a church, but it isn't one of the big cathedral type buildings. It looks a lot like an elementary school, and they don't even have much in the way of religious iconography in the part we vote other than a small hanging cross in a hallway. I moved within the same city and the prior one was also in a church that also looked like an elementary school.
Before that I lived in a different city and the polling place was in the courthouse, and it had the ten commandments posted up.
I live in the capitol of florida and my polling place is also a church
Yep I voted in a big side social room of a church. It used to be held in the high school gym when I was in school but I think school security concerns ultimately nudged them to use the church instead
I'm in one of the bluest cities in the country and mine is a church. Pisses me off
I’ve seen churches, libraries, schools, and municipal buildings used for polling
My local voting place is a veterans bar.
