Rural Kentucky Counties Switching More from Precinct Voting Locations to Voting Centers to Save Money — 10 Comments

  1. Careful what you wish for. Too few voting places makes them crowded on election day, and compels voters to go further from home in order to vote.

    Consolidating precincts just makes the case for no-excuse absentee, and mail-in voting.

  2. I think like everything in the country, shortage of poll workers as the elderly ones are aging out is driving consolidation. Precincts need people to raise their hands and say they will be a poll worker.

    There is a partisan anti-third party tilt on this as the workers are half Democrat and half Republican officially. Where I live the Democrats can never find enough and usually they have Republicans masquerade as Democrats according to the election boardto fill their quota. I offered a couple Libertarians but the law is written for only D’s and R’s, not even Independents.

  3. FORCED PRECINCT DUTIES AS IN FORCED USA MIL DRAFT AND JURIES ???

    OR — STILL SURVIVES WITH ALL ABS MAIL BALLOTS ???

    SNAIL MAIL OPERATES IN RURAL STATES — ANY BETTER THAN IN URBAN AREAS ???

  4. Far fewer election workers needed if we get rid of ballots. Do a standing count, and you need no more than one election worker per precinct.

  5. Mail voting and electronic voting only encourage fraud. We already have way too much election fraud as it is. Get rid of ballots and have in person, on the record standing count voting.

  6. AZ fake news link attempts to install some unverified app from Google Play. Wind Farms kill whales.
