Voters in Iowa are facing shuttered polling locations less than a week away from Election Day, largely due to the various outbreaks of COVID-19 that have gripped the state.(Snip) Reporting by NPR, the Iowa Public Radio News and the Center for Public Integrity finds that hundreds of polling centers have closed due to COVID-19, leaving voters with fewer local options.(Snip) These closures also come during a contentious presidential election and many local elections, leading officials to fear that a lack of polling centers may skew the election outcome.

I predicted this over a week ago, but I expected it in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Pennsylvania.
I still expect more than one Democrat governor to shut down his/her state by trying to require residents to remain in their homes on the week of election day under the threat of thousands of dollars in fines in addition to shuttering polling places "to save lives".

In related news a lot more Republicans vote on election day instead of early voting. I see Democrat-stained fingers on this. Remember their disastrous Iowa caucus?

Bring in the National Guard to run these Polling places. Not fair to close them! Put your foot down Mr. President. Call the Governor! Get things sorted out. Do not allow them to shut down these Polling Places! I'm betting this is not a Democrat area or they wouldn't shut down!!

It's part of the full court, all-out, go for broke attempt by the Marxists to steal the election. It's their only hope.

Sure looks sketchy, but I read that Iowans have been voting in person since October 20th. I'd like to think that Iowans dumb enough not to figure this out until next Tuesday are most likely Biden supporters.

Wasn't this the main reason for the pandemic panic that has been perpetrated by the media, the dems, and the establishment?

Go immediately to the Supreme Court and get these polling stations open, staffed by National Guard if you have to.

I intend to vote in person on Election Day. Governor Tony Evers is a hardline Leftist who will stop at nothing to deny PDJT a second term. In Wisconsin, the media and Leftist politicians are braying non-stop about the China Virus. I see now why they have pushed so hard to get their voters to vote by mail: they intend to close the polling places on Election Day "for public safety" and deny Conservatives a chance to support President Trump.

If you are unsure where to go to vote, and can't get a phone call through to your local election commissioner -- PLEASE -- CALL YOUR PUBLIC LIBRARY!! The librarians will be able to look up the site of your local election commissioner and find out where you need to go to vote. We get calls for this before every single election and we are prepared for it. PLEASE. If you just need to know where to go instead of your usual voting place, a librarian will be able to find out for you. We are here to help you!

#19: I wouldn't trust a Democrat librarian to tell me the truth. I wouldn't trust a Democrat librarian to admit to being a Democrat.
Too many of us know people, even FAMILY MEMBERS, who we can no longer trust after getting banned from get-togethers, no longer permitted to see grandchildren, and even shunned at funerals for the crime of being conservatives, Trump voters, Christians, home schoolers, pro-lifers, believers that "ALL Lives Matter", supporters of the police, 2nd Amendment advocates, or any one of the above.

During the March, i think it was, the polls in Wisconsin were open for primary voting. I think the State legislature ruled for the polls to be open. And so people lined up, wore protective gear, and voted. Never heard about any "surges".
The people need to demand that the polls open: maybe over the weekend into Tuesday. I can't believe that the citizens of Iowa are not furious. If allowed to stand, these voters will have been disenfranchised. We need Joni Ernst. We need every Republican Senator re-elected, or new

They have a responsibility to have a place for people to vote. COVID or not. I can see a law suit in just minutes.

Start plucking the chickens and warming up the tar for the election officials in Iowa that decided to stop citizens from casting their votes in person.

Chances are most of the polling places that would close are in the cities where most of the potential voters would be Biden-Harris voters. That’s not good for Biden-Harris, but they have been poking the COVID bear all along that could flip and easily bite them.

Just another ploy by the liberals. Wear a mask and gloves and go to the polls and vote. Live your life and stand up for liberty!

Is closure of polling places a COVID-19 “coincidental” hardship on voters, or a politically “convenient” hardship on voters? Perhaps a “mixed bag?”
