3. Usually there are fewer polling places for special and off-season |
|
elections because turnout is lower. Counties pay rent for the day and pay people to staff the polling places (at least here, maybe people do it out of the goodness of thier hearts in other places, I dunno) so they don't have more polling places than needed to keep costs down.
Unless there's a pattern (ie all the hoity toity areas have thier full complement of polling places and the working class places don't or somehting like that) I don't think this indicates anything unusual.
Also people get moved from one existing polling place to another as population numbers change, to keep any one precinct from being too busy. At the polling place I worked in December we had to send a lot of people up the street because they came where they always do and thier polling place had been changed to the park up the street. My personal polling place was changed too, because the church where I usually vote was selling thier property. Another year, in an off-year election, we had too few people for a full precinct so they converted the whole precinct to mail ballot. These things happen.
The moral of the story: Check your sample ballots and other mail from he registrar of voters (or whatever they call it where you live) and make sure you're going to the right place. Call the registrar if you're not sure.

5. yep, soon the coverup will begin |
|
1. There's no way to get the neocon-owned MSM to breathe a word of it. 2. The BFEE (probably via Boykin's Taskforce 121 or some similar group of death squads) will assassinate any activists who appear to be getting listened to about it. 3. The upper courts are all run by goose-stepping Federalist Society neocon shill judges; there's nowhere for a legal case to be heard. They'll just dismiss any case against a neocon for any crime whatsoever (and probably seal records to keep the mere allegations of election fraud secret). 4. The entire election integrity efforts of the DOJ have been transformed into a Federalist Society -operated taskforce to disenfranchise Democrats by purging them from voter rosters. They refuse to get involved with the neocons' election-rigging efforts.
Hmm, how does this work again?
