And if the location of your polling place makes you change your mind, you probably should not be voting, anyway. Does this professor think we are all just "sponges," malleable pieces of tissue that are influenced by any stray input? Are there any Freepers that show up to a polling booth, undecided on whom or what they'll vote on, until a random coin toss decides it for them?
Under this logic, there are people that leave their homes in anticipation of voting, but get distracted along the way and end up in bars and pubs.

I was assigned to a Department of Public Works building for a 2004 polling place. The union posters lining the paths to the voting booths weren't exactly neutral, as some voters were quick to point out. But I also noticed those posters inspired some angry voters to go home and drag their friends and family into voting for this kind of chicanery, so I decided not to file a protest with the judge of elections.

I was thinking about the election and how Bush was highly affiliated with religion, says Wheeler, and it occurred to me that this church couldnt possibly be a neutral location. This has to be affecting peoples thoughts.Moonbat can't think for himself. How sad and true.
Maybe he would feel more comfortable voting at a union hall with big gorillas watching his every move...

Id vote the same way whether at the Communist Party Headquarters or my own church basement.Me, too. I voted for Reagan in 1984 at a Unitarian "church."
