Hi Dan – SUPER important message to amplify: the SOTS website where you look up your polling location has an error for districts 3 & 8. We are NOT at CES this year (which is what the site says). Districts 3 and 8 are at COLEY MIDDLE. And this year, it is the bus loop entrance (not the back!!). The bus loop entrance is located via the driveway right next to CES (NOT the CMS main entrance near the CMS sign). Appreciate if you can share this message to your readers!
Voted at Saugatuck El; out in 15 minutes. Bet with the light response all the polling places will be similarly quick to get through.
Have always felt you can’t complain if you didn’t vote.
Anyone have any figures on early/absentee voting? Lots of people are still being extra cautious in the face of COVID-19. If the 15% figure holds, though, that is indeed shameful and depressing.
