It is not koolaid, it is just you had your fact wrong, as I pointed out. Now I will point out that in Florida which is the topic of this thread, schools are not closed on election day. Should that change? or should schools be eliminated as voting sites? It is not just election day that requires extra activity in the school but the day before which requires that the site be made ready with equipment and wiring and security. So actually two days of school disruption.
