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?

If you object to brown sludge, does that mean that you would be intimidated if the vote were held at a water treatment plant? If every place associated with a political issue were ruled out as a location for a voting station, where do you suggest that voting occur?

To my mind, criteria for selecting voting stations should address a few basic criteria, e.g. location, sufficient space, suitable layout, access to transit, parking and so on. I doubt that a congressman's office would be a great location, but if meets the criteria and is available, then why not?
