This is good information.

My vote wasn't contested....but I had to call the county board of elections one time because my polling place was at a church and they put up anti-abortion posters all over the front of the building.

When I told them they weren't allowed to do that at a polling place....a very angry man started telling me they could do whatever they want. So I took pictures and contacted the elections board as well as the ACLU.

It was actually interesting to see the process. Both agencies were helpful and kept me in the loop as the process unfolded. I was surprised to hear that it went all the way up to the state attorney general.

Of course, at the time...Chris Christie was governor and the State AG was a Republican...so he initially refused to take any action. But somebody kept pressing the matter and the church was told that it was absolutely not permitted to do that. By the next election cycle, they were removed as a polling place and another location was assigned.

Yeah. That is ridiculous. Glad they took them down.
