Yes, of course, I would have a problem with it. Who is the idiot in charge of polling place locations that would ever create that situation? Just move the polling place.

If you allow churches to set dietary and dress codes for precinct workers or voters, then you have to allow Mosques the same priviledge.

The solution is to have the secretary of state determine what restrictions are going to be placed in polling facilities and if the churches and mosques and synagogues can't live with it, then they should not volunteer their facilities.

If the secretary of state rules that Coffee and Cokes will not be permitted in any polling facility, then that would be acceptable. However, if it is determined that the secretary of state is only doing this for religious reasons, then I suspect it might run afoul of the Constitution.

I agree with you...So the precincts should not put their polling places in religious facilities that demand that non-followers adhere to their dress codes and dietary restrictions.

This cannot be the first time that the issue is being encountered...What is the law in regard to this matter?

I agree, P-Marlowe...just move the polling place so that the conflict doesn’t exist.
