I suspect that the voting is in a fellowship hall and not the actual sanctuary - thus eliminating some of the safety/cleanliness concerns

There is no sanctuary per se in Mormon Ward Houses.

however even if, genuflecting is not a requirement for non-Catholics (and many Catholics don't do it too), so that is not a good comparison.

Caffine is also an "optional" requirement of Mormonism. Many Mormons DO partake of coffee, tea or cola beverage, many choose to follow the Word of Wisdom.

What about the clothing restrictions I mentioned. Mormon women would not be allowed to enter the ward house in shorts. Would you agree to a like restriction on voters or poll workers based upon this particular LDS taboo?

Fact filed away.

First one BIG question - is the ban on caffeine for ALL mormon facilities used for polling, or just this one?

With that said, a clothing restriction would be slammed in a heart beat if they (mormons) tried to impose that upon non mormons either as workers or voters (that is pretty safe to say). Seems that there may be a selective enforcement of 'rules' if that is your point?

You seem to have missed the woman’s volleyball and basketball games if you have never seen the Sisters in shorts in the ward house.
