What you truly don't believe may not reflect reality. That is why I always encourage people to fact check as well as they can to see if "what they believe" is reality or fiction.
nursing homes as election sites - Google Search that might help you correct your belief. Florida uses nursing homes. Do you think those are good spots for the next election cycle?

The Pinellas elections office also said Wednesday it was moving polling places for nine precincts that had originally been located at eight different assisted-living facilities because of concerns that voters and poll workers would imperil older residents more susceptible to the virus.

DeSantis urged elections officials to move polling places located at nursing homes
Yes, nursing homes and assisted living facilities are often used. The thinking "I believe" was this would make it easier for those residents to be able to vote.
So, does the state need to be making plans now to find alternative voting locations? If you want to use the schools, should election day be a school holiday? Plan now as if there are problems in October it will be too late. |
Okay I’ll drink the koolaid on nursing homes.
As for schools - in New York (where thankfully I’m from), elections were always at schools, both public and private, and yes they were closed.
