this is all an attempt to save sumter county money. so if this cost-cutting measure is not to your liking, i hope we don't have to read your complaints re taxes that are too high.
welcome to the political forum, big guy.

Perhaps I was unclear. My point is the reduction in poling stations is just one more way to inconvenience the voter and reduce the turnout in certain areas. I did read the article including the readers comment at the bottom questioning if they have studied the numbers before going ahead. When you take all the things that have been done to make voting tougher one cannot avoid getting the impression there is a larger effort to suppress the vote. Thanks for the warm welcome!
