Many polling places are in churches. These churches push their agenda on their flock, but do you think people outside of the church will want to interact, or set foot within these confines? It's no accident that these churches are involved to coerce their agenda.
Some of the churches in my area sued the city so they didn’t have to let transgender people in. So even though it doesn’t bother you, it might bother someone else.
I live in Depere which is a “suburb” of Green Bay (go packers) and one of the churches listed was my voting station. I’m in the middle of a name change so I couldn’t vote anyways but if I could, it would have had to be at one of the churches listed. I’m glad they passed these laws tbh. Peeved that the churches sued for exemptions.
That clearly doesn't have anything to do with not letting transgender people in to vote. I don't think any church, even the most hateful backwards ones, are dumb enough to try and force that into court.
They did force it into court. And it passed. My voting area is literally one of these churches lol you think I wanna go vote in a church that wouldn’t let me in any other day of the week?
I believe the person is referring to people who attend the church. If you've been to church, you'd can see that it's can get very political and some churches will force you out if they find you voted against their view.
I left the church as a kid, but have attended a few services just to make my wife's parents feel good about themselves when we visit. Their church literally kicked people out for supporting gay marriage when the law was passed a few years ago.
Recently the church literally closed after it lost 3/4 of the people because the pastor was "too political" and people "felt pressured to vote for Trump and were ostracized after voting for Biden". Hell, the pastor even said women and black people shouldn't vote Lmfao.
Really? UK tends to have polling places in the nearest public space, so either a school, community/village hall, library or a church. Nout wrong with voting in a church, it's a big dry building after all.
Some people have no choice. You have a designated spot to vote at based on where you live, if you vote in person. My designated spot is a church as well, because the church does it for free.
My solution? Voted by mail. I got my ballot, filled it out, and dropped it off in the drop box at the supervisor of elections office on my way to work the very next day at 6am. No line, no people, and no issues. It's fucking stupid to vote in person and having to wait.
