Indeed, I don't even like the use of churches for election polling
places. The public's elections should be conducted in public
facilities,
such as schools, firehouses, county, state or federal office
buildings,
et cetera.

The problem is there are a lot of places where those facilities are
not available on election days. Our schools are locked down when the
students are there and the general public is not allowed in.
Fire Houses are generally not rated for "assembly" (the fire code) and
office building may not have an accessible area to set up the polls.
Some have security that prevents access for the general public.

They have tried to get away from church property here but the county
simply does not have enough suitable locations to serve all of the
polling places required.
They do choose meeting rooms that are separate from the church itself
if that makes you feel better.
The one they used in Estero had no religious artifacts in it at all
and the entrance was on a different road than the entrance of the
church itself.

Our schools here shut down on election day and the large assembly room
is set up with the voting machines. When I lived in Virginia in the
1970's, we voted at the firehouse.

Our firehouses are not set up as "places of public assembly" but we
don't have casino nights like they do up there in Maryland

When I first voted in NE Florida, the polling place was at a baptist
church. The church lined the hallway leading to the assembly room with
photos of aborted fetuses, just for election day.

I have never seen anything like that here. I would complain too.

Hhe didn't complain, because he just made it up... Harry is like that
lonely teen, telling whoppers late at night around the fire and
everybody there knows he is just making it up, but settle for the
entertainment...

You're projecting again. You've had a life of no serious education and
no serious jobs, and therefore you cannot fathom someone who can write a
series of effective letters that push a change in the location of a
polling place. Your way would be to make a homemade claymore mine.
