When Katherine Polizzi showed up to vote at Le Club Century Village, all she wanted to do was cast her ballot. But she describes a confrontational and unnecessary scene that mirrors complaints about the precinct received by the Broward Supervisor of Elections Office during the primary election on August 28th.
This year the precinct was moved to a building inside a private gated community in Deerfield Beach. Previously it was housed at a community center, says Polizzi.
"To even get in to the gate you needed to show an ID, before you even got to the polling place itself," Polizzi says. After voicing her concerns that the complex was being used as a public polling station, private security workers told her "too bad," she added.
Another voter tweeted a similar complaint about the same precinct, saying "I wouldn't show them ID and they held me at the gate and blamed me for holding the line. Precinct A014."

During the primary elections in August, two similar complaints were made to the office of Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes.
"Access to the polling station was hindered [after it] was moved to a gated community -- security checking ID," reads one complaint. A second read: "Did not like the new voting site - Century Village -- gated." The complaints were obtained by WLRN through a public records request sent in September.
ETC...
Who cares?
No results will be overturned.
Broward County was also the “hanging chad” place.
I think they were also the “machine forced me to vote for George W. Bush..!” B.S.
This place is basically full of screamers.
So may we ask the skin tones of those who were asked for ID?
Broward county is pure Democrat territory. They cannot blame any Republicans in any way shape or form.
I am betting this was planned................
Slightly off-topic, but what idiot would locate a polling place inside a gated community?
By definition they have to be accessible by every voter living in the district. This is the last thing the residents of a gated community would ever want. All of the neighborhood riff-raff coming in and out to vote.
Couldn’t they find a fire hall or a school auditorium like everyone else?
Show your ID and go through jack asses
Who do you think they vote for?
bttt
Earlier this year the Broward Cowards aka Sheriff’s deputies stood down during the Valentine’s Day massacre while David Hogg went running in to claim “survivor” status.
Democrats blocking Democrats.
No wonder turnout in Broward is low. Sucks to be them.
This is a good idea. Instead of making them show ID to actually vote, they need to show ID just to get into the polling place. If their ID doesn’t match a registered voter on the registry books inside, they don’t get in.
A gated community is designed to keep people out.
Bad choice of locations.
But you would think the gated community would understand who they would have to let in and if they didn't like it they would have objected or denied having the polling in their community.
Lots of questions and curious actions.
To make sure they have IDs to vote. That is why.
All votes from Broward county should be disqualified. They can never get this right.
On WMAL today, Larry O’Connor said there was a similar problem in Maryland. The voting site is in a synagogue, and they had a guard. The guard wanted to check IDs before letting people into the synagogue, but the election judges said that since IDs aren’t needed in MD, what he was doing was illegal.
I guess I would have to know more about how that county’s elections board goes about securing polling places. Seems like a weird choice to me.
I think increasingly owners of private property are not going to agree to serve as polling places because they do not wish to become the targets of lunatic protesters.
Too bad, so sad.
