I'm tempted to buy this one.

This year Ohio sent absentee-ballot applications to about 95% of its citizens rather than require people to request one. Anyone who returned the application was then sent an absentee ballot, which then requires them to vote by the absentee ballot and not at a polling station. If they do try to vote at a polling station they'll cast a provisional ballot which must then be held under lock and key for 10 days while the state waits to see if an absentee ballot had been received. At the moment some are guessing that there could be 250K or more provisional ballots as a result of this. That large of a number could easily cause Ohio to not be able to project a winner if the voting is too close to call.
Abortion-related measures are significantly more likely to be voted down in the primary polling places are churches, and education-related bills are significantly more likely to succeed if the polling locations are mostly schools.
Automatons unite (for reasons that aren't exactly clear)!

I can understand in small towns where options may be limited, but community facilities (fire houses, city halls, libraries and recreation centers) are plentiful here.

I don't really have a problem with voting in churches. Free or cheap use of public space for civic activities should be expected in exchange for tax-free status.
