Hi Cap'n !
What they did here in Ohio was CONSOLIDATE some voting places so that several "districts" would vote at the same location. Many of these combined district polling places were pretty small. I don;t think it is any attempt to make life more difficult for anyone. I think that if the number of people in a particular precinct changes drastically, then the board of elections looks at it and tries to improve economy of voting at places. The citizens are notified... It realy is no big deal.
My wife and I already voted. We drove up to the board of elections on Saturday afternoon and voted.
I held my nose here for Governor whom I despise, and a couple other "offices" up for election.
Unfortunately, the Libertarian candidate has NO CHANCE and I don't want the socialist to become governor either.
His opponent is just not quite as liberal as the demonrat. SO Ohio will suck for the next 4 years...
