In that greyfoxx39 has admitted that he views as illegitimate restrictions based on religious motivations, EVEN IF THEY ARE THE SAME RESTRICTIONS THAT MIGHT HAVE OTHER MOTIVATIONS, my post stands as written.
Thanks for pointing that out.

As mine does also...
What’s good for one religion is good for another...
Since you feel you cannot qualify the instances...
personally, I disagree with honor killings and I disagree with restricting non-participants from drinking legal beverages..
While it may be considered irreligious for the day, to restrict coffee and tea to the poll workers due to rules of conduct is regretable..
The building is just that ...a building...
Although it may have been used for religious purposes the other days of the year, that particular day it was used for secular activities..
Most polling places do not allow ANY food or drink on the premisses for the voters...
But the poll workers ...who are all VOLUNTEERS.. should be afforded what comforts they might deemed necessary...
(Drawing a line at alcoholic beverages of course)
A kitchen or a snack corner set up for that purpose is only reasonable...
And to allow the VOLUNTEERS to drink their choice of beverage is not unreasonable...
As someone pointed out, the building is probably “exorcized” later anyway ...
