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?

Date: 27/11/10 04:14 (UTC)You also need a lot of room and no problem with dozens of people moving in and out of a building without much checking and that doesn't fit well with a police station.
However, an annex and/or part of a government building which happens to also contain a police station (which you will often find in a small town) is both reasonable and shouldn't deter anyone.
IMO a church would be more objectionable.
In any case you can always use absentee ballots or cast your vote at county election offices if you have a problem with your local polling place.
