Now copper thefts are interfering with the elections
Copper theft forces KCK polling place to move
By ROBERT A. CRONKLETON
The Kansas City Star

Election officials relocated a polling site this afternoon after a thief stole the copper out of an air-conditioning unit of a Kansas City, Kan., church.

The Metropolitan Baptist Temple at 853 Washington Ave. was being used a polling place, however, someone broke into the church recently — possibly within the last 24 hours — and stole the copper, said Bruce Newby, county election commissioner.

Officials closed the polling location at noon and moved it to the nearby Wyandotte County Election Office at Ninth Street and State Avenue. Newby said the new polling site was open by 12:25 p.m.

Signs have been posted at the church directing voters to the new location. Voters should enter the center door on the south side of the building on State Avenue, Newby said.

1. I suspect a giant lizard attack will be next
And it will only destroy predominantly democratic polling places.
