My polling station was a church and there was no lobbying for joining or any tracks being handed out. I am a Southern Baptist yet I believe its inappropriate to do this in time of voting.

My polling station was a church and there was no lobbying for joining or any tracks being handed out. I am a Southern Baptist yet I believe its inappropriate to do this in time of voting.

And this is exactly as it should be. I grew up in a smal farming community, and the Luthern Church basement served as the local polling place. During this time, all the bulletin boards were clean, there were no posters hanging on any walls (except those related to the voting process) and the Sunday school rooms were all shut. An honest attempt was made to make the church basement as non-religous as possible. As soon as the polls closed, the church posters, rosters and displays went back up. I do believe that MOST churches that generously donate their time and space provide these considerations. However, I doubt that 100% of them do.
