I've never found out why, when the secularists are so bent on "separation", they are quick to hold governmental elections in church buildings. I get the convenience - location, facilities, etc - but isn't this hypocritical? And why are so many churches happy to let Them use Our facilities?
Opinions welcome as well as historical facts.
Voting in Church Buildings?

Is this a regional issue?

everywhere?
well, I ... don't know. I have made the ill advised assumption (NOT a rare event) of thinking that all parts of the country do this. I have lived in the south all my life and have know it throughout this region. I guess yankees hold voting in churches.
Do they where you live? -
We used to use a lot of schools but now we have one place for a city of 60,000. It's in one of the convention center buildings at the state fair grounds. However, we have more and more people voting by absentee ballots.
I suspect that having such a ready supply of churches in the South is one reason why its common there. -
Several churches are used here in Upstate NY. With many locations - lines are not that long.
