I used to vote at a Plumber’s Union headquarters, but they moved and the space was taken over by a home-health care facility that doesn’t let us vote there. Which is a bit of a bummer because I could easily walk there. The new place is a church, which is farther away and less interesting.
Local DAV chapter meeting room that REEKS of 40 years of cigarette smoke, due to weekly bingo and attached bar area.
My polling place is a middle school gymnasium.
Sportsman’s Club.
Elementary (Catholic) school gymnasium usually. Although it was been at the hockey rink a couple of times.
School administration office - it takes up part of the building, the rest is an elementary school.
My comfy chair in my house. I voted 2 weeks ago.
The Chillicothe branch of Ohio University.
Used to vote at a volunteer fire station out in the middle of nowhere. This time, they changed it to the gymnasium of a local church on the main road into town.
Our local elementary school.
We vote at the local fire station.
The fire station around the block.
Church. Lutheran church, to be exact.
I vote in a fairly nice community center, but the whole thing is just a kick in the face to remind that I am one of the proles
There are four precincts voting areas in the same hallway.
Walk by the first one. One guy in a booth, 15 empty booths, three bored looking officials.
Walk by the second one. Two woman in a booths, 14 empty booths, two bored looking officials, one person waiting for their paperwork to be checked.
Third one, 4 voters, many empty booths,
Fourth one, (mine :mad:) 120ish people in line, 45 minute wait 15 booths constantly full, language barriers, people cutting.
See, precincts are all the same size basically in geography. But the first three are the vast-estate rich areas that may have 500 voters total each, but they get 16 booths.
The last precinct is where we scum apartment dwellers and small yard house owners live. At least 20 times the people, and still 16 crummy booths.
The auditorium of Hogg Middle School, built in 1926. Named after Jim Hogg, first “native born” governor of Texas & father of Ima…
My assigned Election Day polling site: church (in the meeting hall, not the actual church) three blocks in the wrong direction from the train station I use to get to/from work. :smack:
The nearest Election day polling site: public elementary school, right on the way to the train station. BTW, the school seemed to be closed today – is it typical to close a school that’s being used as a polling site?
Where I actually early voted: basement of the Cook County office building about two blocks from my office.
The Presbyterian Church down the block.
Masonic Lodge.
Baptist church meeting hall. Nothing digital; all ballots were filled in by hand with a black ink pen. In and out in 10 minutes about 20 minutes ago.
UAW Hall, and I think that it is hilarious that those with foreign cars have their own parking lot farthest away from the building
