jeffwChurches don’t have to be accessible. That’s a voting rights problem.
reddig33There are plenty of government buildings that are accessible, including schools. Why are we using churches?
JesusProximity.
You don’t always have a government building in close proximity. I once lived in an area where the polling place was someone’s garage because there was no better option.
vaultdweller013One of the polling places in my area is a Masonic temple, theres always a protest outside on election day. The Masons just pay some folks to give out free water and snacks to fuck with the protesters more.
Also, not every government building has a large enough room to set up 8-10 voting stations with minimum separations between them, and tables for passing out ballots, and voting boxes, and enough space to accommodate people waiting to vote. In fact, a lot of them DON’T have such a space, and before someone says “but electronic voting”, a good handful of states pivoted away from those years ago thanks to weirdos bitching about how hackable they were and all that.
