Battling Vote Centers/Super Precincts/Voter Disenfranchisement

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

For anyone trying to block the use/implementation of Vote Centers in their
state, here is a document I prepared.

Vote Centers or Super Precincts

Super Precincts, Vote Centers or “Mega Precincts” are often defined as a polling place at which any registered voter in the political subdivision holding the election may vote, regardless of the precinct in which the voter lives. The advantage is that there is no wrong place to vote. In some states, the Vote Centers are open multiple days or weeks prior to Election Day. To pay for Vote Centers, sacrifices are made: the number of voting locations and voting machines are cut by as much as 66% or more. Neighborhood election day precincts are often eliminated.


Super Precincts or Vote Centers can become a poll-tax for the elderly, disabled, minority and rural voters – because of the additional travel, time, missed work or physical stress of waiting in long lines to vote. Voters can no longer walk or travel a short distance to vote. For disabled, the voting location is no longer in a familiar neighborhood, and may be in a busy crowded facility. Election officials have to rely more on expensive and error prone technologies such as electronic poll books and touch-screen voting machines. When equipment crashes or fails to work, greater numbers of voters are simultaneously disenfranchised. Denial of service attacks affect larger portions of voters. (More eggs in one basket)
