> > Wish that was so, but I don't think it will happen because small/poor counties won't be able to afford 'em. i live in a very sparsely populated county in rural Wisconsin. I vote in - i swear I am not making this up - a barn. I half considered complaining about it because in the last election they had a proposal about financial aid to dairy farmers, and as I was marking the ballot a cow mooed in the next stall over. I was thinking about telling them I felt the cow was there to exert undue influence ;)

Last election, my nearest local voting booth was set up in a kindergarten classroom. The election before that, it was in a stinky little room above the public toilets next to the boat ramp and haulout area down at the beach. A barn would be cool though. Maybe next time.
