Then how long is it before they allow voting in churches?- oh wait, we can, hmmm

I believe that public schools should be the only polling places and that voting should take place on a national holiday or over the course of a three day weekend in order to give everyone a chance to vote.

1. Something needs to excite the voter
The more voters there are the better the chances for the Democrats.

3. If caucus sites are set up for convenience based on employment
there is absolutely NO reason why there cannot be a caucus site in a legal brothel. The precedent has been set and accepted. Prostitutes are also shift workers.

4. You are absolutely right. And if the state party had negotiated
that eight months ago and everyone had signed off on it, then it would be perfectly alright. Maybe next time...

7. Precisely--and it wouldn't have affected Clark County anyway.

It's illegal there (not that that stops it by any means).

Besides, there's lots less traffic at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch than there is on the Strip.

6. Or any workplace? Why should any worker have to take time off to vote or anyone have bypass a caucus
because of their working hours?

8. As long as it's only the "working girls" voting, I don't see a problem with that.
Although if they stopped to vote in the middle of a "transaction" that might prove bad for business.

9. They can--except in Las Vegas,
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 03:59 PM by blondeatlast
if they make a deal well in advance of the primary. I say let any workplace be a poling place; I'm all for that.

Prostitution is illegal in lAS vEGAS, though.
