It is, of course, harder to vote when there’s nowhere to do it — or at least nowhere close. “Last year, Texas led the U.S. South in an unenviable statistic: closing down the most polling stations, making it more difficult for people to vote,” The Guardian reported in March. About 750 polls have been closed statewide since 2012, which could exacerbate already low voter turnout rates. But Texas is merely one example of this issue. Arizona has undertaken the nation’s most significant reduction of polling places in recent years, closing some 321 locations, according to a 2019 report from The Leadership Conference Education Fund.

I was educated in Catholic schools and spent 6 years at the Petit Seminaire College Saint-Martial, a Jesuit seminary. I am a twice Ordained minister from the Open Ministry Church, and the Universal Life Church The Monastery. I am not religious or an atheist, I enjoy spirituality. Religion, politics and gardening (not necessarily in that order) are my favorite subjects of conversation. Other areas of interest include: Human diversity, criminal and constitutional law (graduated from the police academy CCJST), Africa, ancient history, slavery, automotive technology and research at the GM training Center (Tech I and III), Chrysler Technical Training (BE and T-121).
