Contextual priming: Where people vote affects how they vote

Duh!

[TommyDale]

I have to vote on the wrong side of the tracks, literally.

[HighlyOpinionated]

Which is good reason to have computer voting from home. Or to allow voting over a weekend or a week at the local firehouse.

But then someone would find a firehouse offensive or negative.

It’s a no win situation.

Well, we should all be informed voters and have our minds made up before we enter the voting booth. We should do a little homework on candidates and ballot initiatives so we know what we’re voting for.

I don’t know what to say if voters become conflicted when confronted with a ballot, and they haven’t done any research into ballot initiatives. If they are voting in a school, that will influence them to vote for a bond issue for schools?

I hate to think some people are so easily swayed. I would hope that all of us do some research before we go vote.

I may be a minority opinion, but I’m not too concerned that voter turnout is not as high as some other countries. I figure if some people don’t follow the news and politics, their votes won’t be based on any kind of reasoning or thought process anyway. And they won’t know the candidates or the issues, so they shouldn’t vote anyway. I don’t want uninformed people canceling out my vote because they don’t know what the issues are.

I have observed that the dead are influenced by inner city voting locations to vote for Democrat candidates, not quite sure why.

My precinct in Minneapolis is in a Lutheran Church.

Bush-Cheney got swamped there in ‘04.

Looking at the numbers from surrounding precincts, it really didn’t matter whether the voting location was in a church or school.

In short, there was no discernible difference one way or the other.

says Wheeler, “and it occurred to me that this church couldn’t possibly be a neutral location.

And with that comment the professor became a variable in his own "study."

The whole notion is preposterous. Liberals see the religious bogeymen under every rock.

[Flycatcher]

Gosh, would it make him happier if we all voted at abortion clinics?

[Dems_R_Losers]

In Philadelphia there are numerous polling places in union halls, homes of Democratic state representatives and senators, and other wonderful “unbiased” places. And we wonder why Philly always votes 80%+ for the Democrat?

[Old Professer]

Good, now let’s make every public toilet a polling place in the interest of truth in advertising.

[Political Junkie Too]

I vote in a neighbor's garage.

“I was thinking about the election and how Bush was highly affiliated with religion,” says Wheeler, “and it occurred to me that this church couldn’t possibly be a neutral location. This has to be affecting people’s 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...
