So, I don't have much to say on this other than to mention this and to see the reaction of people here.

I don't have a link or the exact specifics, but, I have on what I consider to be good authority the fact that:

There is an electoral district in/near Buffalo, NY (I don't know the exact spot, but the person who told me this, is in my view, a trustworthy person) where the polling place is a police station.

This seems kinda like voter intimidation and I consider it to be inappropriate to have a voting place to be at a police station. I'm sure there was a school or church nearby that could have sufficed. What do you think?

It's not hard to imagine people who have had lots of negative experiences with the police, right? And those people might not want to go to a police station to vote.

While it's not everyone who would feel intimidated, I believe the district was largely composed of minority individuals, and they often get profiled by the police and treated in a less than fair manner.
