jeffy124's Journal: Have A Beer While You Vote

Major cities often have trouble meeting the election law requirement of providing a public polling place close to home. The Philadelphia Daily News explains why you may end up casting your vote at a funeral home, in someone's living room, a Krispy Kreme shop, and even the local tavern.

For the record - I've already voted, at the school gym. The local police chief marked off how far away from the door campaigners had to stand, and I was approached by the guy running for mayor as I walked past him. Didn't have the heart to tell him I wasn't voting for him :-)

Street?

Boy, I hope that was John Street. The city won't last 4 more years with him around.

no, I dont live in philly any more. moved home (in with parents) to south jersey.

though four years ago when Drexel hosted a mayoral debate, I was working for the admissions office as a student tour guide and served in the debate as an usher. Was assigned Katz's dressing room. He treated me like I was a regular voter.

Campaigning on election day.

In Canada it's illegal to campaign on election day. Though campaign signage has to be at least a certain distance from the door of the polling place.
