Dont worry Billmattocks, all future tickets given to you by that officer will have nothing to do with your e-mailing the sherrif. It will just be a coincidence...:angel:

I wonder how much misuse of the automotive databases will occur trying to find some guy named Wigwam Jones?

That guy's a nut. Don't listen to him.

I'm out of state and had to vote absentee! Luckily, I was not undecided.

Many moons ago (before my time with the department) Deputies actually stopped a car that the license plate came back to a registered owner with the last name of "Thunderpussy". Before the days of in-car computers, dispatch had to say over the air the name etc. They all had a copy of the plate and anytime a new dispatch person started, one of them would call out the plate to see how they reacted.

My voting place has been the little Catholic church around the corner for over a decade.

Anyone else find it ironic with all the talk about seperation of church and state and we can't have any hint at religion talk here, that most voting polls are in churches?

Yeah, it couldn't be that religious people are more likely to donate their time and land to what they see as a good cause, but, rather must MUST MUST have some nefarious purpose.

Don't know... In my area, most polling places are schools. Maybe in others, they use churches because they're buildings with parking, space for the polling... and not typically in use on a Tuesday...

These are concepts that sound a bit strange to me. I have never voted in a church, even growing up I have never gone to the polls with my parents and gone to a church. We have either gone to a school or to some sort of civic building, much like I have done as an adult.

Also I have never heard of a polling place determining the polling workers? I always thought the city or town had the responsibility of defining the polling places and then staffing them, usually with volunteers. Am I mistaken?

Same here. We actually actively avoid religious institutions because members of some faith will not enter other faith's builduings.

In Canada, for Federal and Provincial elections, the pooling places are manned by members of the political parties. Representatives of all major parties.
Municipal elections, because they are party-less, are staffed by volunteers.

JKS beat me to what I was going to say .

Briefly, our voting place was a funeral home. At least it was close.
