I've always been of the belief it worked like the planet and city Asgard in the Thor Marvel series. Asgard is not a place.......it's a people.

A church building is just a building. The real church are the folks that worship there. The building itself is just geography.

With what all is going on, if you have to vote in a church building, vote in a church building. There is too much at stake.

In the bible, a church isn't a building. A church is people gathered together to pray.

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.

So what's the issue? Voting in a church going to scare off liberals? or fear that it might make some vote conservative?

Some fear a bolt out of the blue if they darken a church door.

I wish it were that easy. Might not be saddled with this dementia patient.

Tell me its no different than voting in the town shop. How many take their hat of when in a church, no matter what the occasion? Its just a building.

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................

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................

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.

Sounds like you live in a messed up city lol

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

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.

If the strippers are poll workers, election officials may frown on all the $1 payoffs stuffed in their under britches.

Church isn't going on during voting. Strippers would not be stripping during voting. Use the building.
