Since he doesn't show his location, he might not be in Virginia where "good and sufficient cause" is all that is required in church.allens wrote:So what's the issue?Mines just as bad. My polling place is a church.

A few years ago my polling place moved to the local high-school. I wonder if it can be moved.For me Voting=school. I'm giving up one right to engage in another right. It does not make sense to me.
Having a polling placein a school also presents a similar problem for a registered sex offender. I suppose (s)he asks for an absentee ballot. I bet that is an interesting conversation at the Registrar's Office.rebfan wrote:

Edit: I just called and asked the Registrar of Voters. The answer was "No." My only other option is absentee, which is a non starter for me. First if the election is close the absentee's have a much higher challenge rate. But more importantly, I feel that voting is a civic duty, and should be done openly. I take my boys with me to teach them that voting is a serious responsibility.
Considering that one can gain such status for so minor an infraction as public urination, perhaps it shouldn't be such a stigma?Having a polling placein a school also presents a similar problem for a registered sex offender.

You might want to call the Registrar back and ask them to explain to you how submitting an absentee ballot without meeting one of the clearly defined requirements for doing so is not against the law, and why would they suggest that you break the law?rebfan wrote:

Ha ha, it'll be a race, am I first? You're gonna have to provide a source for that gem...Conceal Carry is ok in a school if it's for voting purposes

Please cite the va code section for this...
That doesn't sound right.
Good grief... I hadn't even noticed that... there's nothing wrong with being wrong as long as you own up to it. Everyone is wrong once in a while! You get a whole lot more respect saying oops than just sneaking out the back door.fairfax1 wrote:It is not right - obviously so.cruzn82 wrote:

Cruzn82 deleted/edited his post, but it had already been captured by quoting it.
