The coolest polling place EVER
On the front page of the LA Times (Online Edition) there is a picture of poll workers setting up signs in front of this store:



Here is a better look at the mural on the side of the store:



For those who don't recognize the faces, that's Leonard Peltier, Bob Marley, Dolores Huerta, and Che Guevara.

And if you don't know who they are, Google is your friend.

3. I vote in a Baptist Church too
And I doubt that this would be allowed any where but a small town in the boondocks.

6. There are only 3 or 4 buildings in that town
It is a long way out in the boonies in Northern New Mexico.

I was exploring out that way a couple of years ago when I discovered and photographed the murals. Then I saw the picture on the front page of the LA Times and just about Freaked OUT!
