Says the guy who had a conniption because of a vote registration drive at Chick-fil-a because they might register more Republicans than leftists.

they placed it at that location to get a political advantage just like they tried to remove the location in the OP to get a political advantage.

Lie. They never tried to remove it. The clerk asked for clarification in his correspondence with the attorney. I don't see where they tried to have the location removed.

because she wanted to remove it

The college campus is an approved election day site.

How can an early voting site give an advantage, but be fine as an election day site?

Just like placing early voting locations on college campuses, but that's OK because #TeamOverCountry.

college campuses have the best public transportation services, facilities, on top of being next to a demographic that has lesser means to travel to another location than the overwhelming majority of voters. It also helps with voter turnout.

remember what happened at appalachian state? moved the location off campus to an area with no public transportation and something like 17 parking spots.

Google Maps says you are lying.

So does the AppalCART report from 2011 that clearly shows that bus stop as active back then.

speculation. Checking the validity of the polling station's location could have been part of this clerk's job just as easily.

Common knowledge says you refuse to acknowledge that even without the public transport aspect that was still shady as **** and done for a clear political advantage.

remember what happened at appalachian state? moved the location off campus to an area with no public transportation and something like 17 parking spots.

Then the college students at App clearly didn't care enough to vote. Polling places should be at "neutral" sites like grade schools, community centers, libraries, and city halls. College campus voting places are defacto "for students only" voting places, a good portion of whom maintain their permanent residences out of that school's particular voting district or even the same state. Most college campuses charge for parking and very few have this Utopian fantasy general public transportation access you speak of.

By the nature of the corruption of American higher education by socialists and communist sympathizers and apologists, college campuses are now indoctrination centers for leftists. Can we find a college campus polling result outside of out-liers like Liberty and BYU that has ever been even near 50% for the conservatives since campus voting started? I doubt it, these are partisan polling places by their very nature.

Since I have no interest in disenfranchising legally eligible voters under current law, I have no problem with ELECTION DAY on-campus polling stations. Yet in an already highly questionable early voting scheme, putting an early voting polling station on college campuses is no different than putting one up at a NASCAR race, or a Chick-fil-A.

The Watagua County Ag Center is 1.3 miles from the center of App State's campus. It's not like they moved it 20 miles away. Oh, and do you know how many parking spots are at the Plemmons Student Union, the location that was done away with? The answer is roughly the same as the Watagua County Ag Center, which also happens to be located in a more accessible part of town that the main campus, meaning more Boone citizens had easier access to it.

49R,

I challenge you to provide an actual argument for how it's possible that a site is acceptable as an election day polling place, but is biased as an early polling place.

Not simply a decree, because you don't like early voting for no good reason.

College students who maintain their permanent residences outside of the district their university is in should have to vote absentee in their home district. No reason the good people of Watagua County should have polices and politicians they don't agree with forced on them by outsider transients.

Ducking the difficult discussion for the easy argument.

Noted.

Make voting a national holiday and I'll get on board with that. Otherwise, it isn't convenient for everyone to vote on voting day.

schools are nonbiased but colleges are not?

let's face it colleges are hubs. a number of states have their highest public employer being a public university.

go to a rural college town and the college will probably be the single biggest, or at the very least the second biggest employer. it will probably have the biggest/best facilities in the immediate area and the student population also attracts businesses bringing even more people to the area. all of that on top of a demographic with low voter turnout and lesser means to travel.

the parking issue is a reach and you know it. it's pretty reasonable to think the college won't enforce parking on an election day.

I guess I have mistakenly given you enough credit to at least be knowledgeable about things that you brought up in this thread before having a discussion about them. In retrospect, I will point you to Google.

Niner,

Correct. In person early voting is 100% valid. No one here has proposed an actual argument against it.

And a simple glance at Google Maps shows that there are far more than the 17 parking spots JohnnyZero said there were.

And it's what? A block or two from the restaurant district frequented by App State students that they seem to have absolutely no trouble getting to that I can recall from my visits to Boone back in the day.
