Reply #69: Because they've got four walls, a roof, and usually a wheelchair ramp?

I've done my bit as a poll worker a few times, and I like when we're sited in churches, they have plenty of folding tables, etc we can use, and generally a nice kitchen we can heat our lunches in, which is a big deal if you're working from before 7 am until after 10 at night.

The lousiest polling place I've worked was a car dealership. It wasn't very warm in there and they couldn't spare many parking spaces, so we spent half the day asking people to move their cars. Plus no kitchen, so we had workers taking turns to leave and get food, which just doesn't work as well as when they pop out of the room to nuke something.
