5 polling places?! For 64 precincts! What the hell are you thinking, Canyon County? Can’t possibly be an attempt to cut down on Hispanic and elderly voters on Election Day... 5! Nobody is going to know this beforehand.
And they claim it’s due to lack of poll workers. You only had enough for 5 polling places? Come on! Ada County had excess. Use them.
As you can see from the KTVB story, Canyon County isn’t claiming they don’t have enough poll workers for 64 precincts, they’re claiming they don’t have enough “experienced” poll workers for more than 5 precincts. https://www.ktvb.com/amp/article/news/politics/elections/canyon-county-to-open-five-polling-locations-for-the-november-election/277-5fdf5aca-e737-437c-9d8b-59d6c3c6e864?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&__twitter_impression=true
