On the percentages — oh, I know. I wasn't taking any conclusion at all from those numbers, just citing them for the record. They actually seemed rather small. I'm aware that the county has made other changes to the voting process (such as allowing any registered voter to vote at any location, rather than requiring them to vote in a precinct-specific place) that can make voting easier. So it's possible that fewer, better-distributed polling places could serve the electorate more efficiently. But we don't (or I don't) know that, currently. Nor have I really found any discussion of the issue, much less been asked for input on it as a citizen. Still, not drawing conclusions.

Voter ID laws, on the other hand; those I'm pretty clear on.... But that's a distinct issue.
