WLRN reports on one voting station that was moved to a building inside a private gated community that was previously housed at a community center.

Said one voter: “To even get in to the gate you needed to show an ID, before you even got to the polling place itself.”

And it wasn’t the only one: “Other sites across the state are seeing issues with access due to polling locations located inside gated communities with private security.”

3. Scary, especially since it looks like some right-wingers use these communities to bunker

down. Over a period of years, people get pushed out and family members take over. Not too surprisingly, common grounds disappear and cronies get to break building codes and setbacks.

We really need to look closely how the communities in these HOA's are operating.
