But it is the State's fault for choosing the house of worship as a polling place? They have schools in the area that I'm sure they could have used, but whatever.
The problem with schools is that unlike churches they serve an important societal function, so they are already full and in use during election days.
Plus, you'd have the problem of tons of adults descending upon a school and hysterical parents that think everyone wants to rape their kid wouldn't go for that.
The much bigger problem is the lack of access to polls due to people working, bad weather, long lines, etc.. Elections should be held over multiple days where all employees are required to have at least 1 of those days off (not just "sure, you can leave work if you really feel you need to"). Have the 2 days be on Sat and Sun (fuck God), This would also allow us to use public schools.
