    Churches? For real? Never occurred to me that was a possibility. Where are you from?

    In my neck of the woods it’s city hall and schools. Public, secular buildings.

      I was thinking the same thing. I’ve only ever seen local voting in various schools and municipal buildings, so i looked up my local precincts:

      • 60% vote in churches (though each church serves two precincts…)
      • none vote in schools.

      At first I thought could be because the schools have tightened up security in recent years when it comes to visitors, but in next zone over in the same school district:

      • 75% of the precincts vote at schools
      • none in churches.
