I'm fairly certain there are far better options. My polling place used to be in a junior High School, and then they changed it to a church.

@Ashenshard when they used the schools, the schools were closed to the kids for the day (strangers wandering around,). A church is just a big building with plenty of parking, bathrooms, and a handicapped ramp....there is no mystical significance to a Building!

I've never heard of a school being closed, maybe a room or a hallway. No reason to close the entire school.

@Ashenshard in CT many of the schools are comp lately closed, and I agree with that policy when i see how easy it would be to go anywhere in the building after getting through the doors to the auditorium.

better than my reaply...
