I wouldn't be worried about voting in a church. A building is a building, if they want to have it in a barn I could care less. Better then standing outside in the rain or humidity. I guess you could call me a hypocrite as I don't see a problem with holding the polling location at a church. However, I'm not sure I can say the same if it was held at an abortion clinic. ol' dad

True, warrior. I should have worded it SHOULD they refuse, instead of can they. I would think any church or business can refuse use of there space. Or require a rental fee. One year we voted in the basement of a local credit union.. I guess I never thought about? Do they donate that space for the day? Or are they paid some nominal rate? The fire station I worked at for several years always had a pole there for that district. When I worked south end of city that station never was used that I recall. Since I have lived where I do now. I have voted at two different churches. Two different elementary schools and the above mentioned credit union. I really have no idea who or how they decided on those locations. Other than being some what disruptive. It seems to me the schools would be the first choice if city had to pay for other space. Mac Sounds like you live in a messed up city lol

Mac I'd be more upset about them always changing the place, than over what building you voted in.

To those who don't mind voting in a church, would it give you pause at all if your polling place was a strip joint instead of a church? It's just a building................
Naked women, beer, loud music, and voting out democrats? I think you might be one to something. Ol dad

Sounds like you live in a messed up city lol Yeah Mad I've had some people tell me it's just drunken dumpy little river town.. Yotetrapper30 The church I voted at the other day. It's about 9 blocks away and there were two wards voting there. The elementary school we were at 2 years ago is maybe 5 blocks north east from the church?..I also noticed that the ward to the south of me. They were voting at a church just two blocks south from my house. I'm kinda on line here. It does get confusing some years back I got to where voted years before. Got alway up to where check my ID and address.. Find out I'm at wrong poling place.. So yes on my end of town it has moved around been paired with another ward. Wife reminded me we voted at the state office building in past too? All that moving locations is good excuse to mail in a hand full ballots right.. lmao I could see some small town voting in a bar.

I'll admit, I'm a little surprised to know that churches are used as polling places. I guess I've just never seen that before. I'll also admit, it does seem odd to me. What with separation of church and state and all................
