I just got back from voting. It was the longest line I had ever stood in… until I found out that I was in the wrong precinct and stepped over to a much shorter line. My shorter line was then broken up by either a machine ballot vote or a paper ballot vote. I chose the machine, like the majority of the people, and gave the ladies who were working at the table my voter registration card, my driver’s license and my change of address form (driver’s license doesn’t match current location). They then gave me a plastic card to put in the machine. I had asked the ladies who were helping at the polls to take a picture of me while I voted and they agreed. I then went to another line to wait for an available machine. Once I got my chance to vote, I looked for someone to take my picture. However, a man told me that they were not allowed any photography in the voting area. After this I followed the directions on the machine and finished my vote. After I finished voting, I received a sticker and a pamphlet. I then went outside with my sticker and pamphlet and took a picture of myself. I do have one question though. Why do we vote in churches if the church and the government are separate and should have nothing to do with one another? I’m a believer and all, I just want to know why the government assigns voting locations in churches?

That is a good point, I have never thought about it like that.We always talk about seperation of church and state, but we end up voting in places of worship. How odd.
