We used to vote in the nearby old folks home. If it ain't outside in the rain, I can live with it.
A friend lives in a nearby town. All precincts in the town vote at city hall with no lines. Apparently a LOT of people in the town are felons.

I vote in my mailbox :lol:
-
In my parents' neighborhood, where I grew up, we voted in the basement of a Methodist church. I guess they still do. I can't imagine how that would horrify some people. :laugh:

Doesn't it get a lil crowded?

Most of those places are not crazy at all. They are just businesses.

And where do you get those privacy screens that are small enough to fit?

No, two completed ballots in envelopes fit just fine. It's a jumbo mailbox.
Guess I should have said that I vote at my dining room table. Sure beats driving 50+ miles round trip.
(oh yeah I found out a week or so back that if you're an Indian then it's discrimination to have to drive more than a couple miles or have to mail in your ballot ;/ )

I voted in a junkyard for 2 elections. It was the only building big enough and handicap accessable in the dinky little town.

If it works, then what's the issue? Better than being compelled to give up your CCW because the only available polling location is in a designated victim zone (schools).

No issue. I just thought it was funny. Kinda expected to have my choice between a Buick and a Ford for voting privacy. The people were really nice and they had cleared an area and cleaned it up and it was inside out of the weather.

Yup, businesses volunteering their service for the civic good.

I thought firearms in a polling place some federal no-no.
Maybe just an Az. thing?

Unless you're part of a minority voter action group? :angel:

Hah! If you are an Old Person like me and swmbo, we qualify for absentee ballots. (Somehow I think the name of that ballot is insulting...as if my brain has gone absent.) Well, mebbe so. Anyhoo, we done voted a couple weeks ago without having to stand in line. Romney is up by two votes.

Which is how we vote in our mailbox =)
Like I said, beats driving 50+ miles round trip to vote.
