It was a difficult day for town residents and especially seniors like myself and many who had limited walking ability or a disability to wait outside at the senior center, in the cold, in long lines that only got longer as the day went on. Fortunately, someone started taking these people out of the line and into the building. This was a poor decision at best and I hope they rescind the decision and revert back to our regular polling places. For the taxes we pay I would hope that we would be treated better than this. What are we saving when it takes away from the convenience, comfort and expediency of our townspeople?!

Had the weather been wet or snowy, it would have impacted turnout as some people could not, or would not have stayed out in the elements to vote. It's one thing if the lines are backed up, it's quite another to have people standing outdoors. While one of the poll attendants kept yelling about a " multi hour hour waiting line line in Florida", I don't think he was thinking about the fact they were warm and sunny that day and NO consolation to the NH voters shivering in their boots! Besides, NH is not Florida and our population doesn't compare to Florida's in using them as an excuse!

They should move voting back to Barron and out of the senior center, close schools on election day and the size of that school would allow people to be indoors while they wait to vote, just line em up in the hallways if needed. It is a shame that the polling places were downsized, it used to be quite easy to get in, vote and get out, as it should be. My impressions of the new polling format is nothing short of an epic fail to what should be a simple experience.

I really think that we should keep the polling places as they are now at least for another election cycle. This year's numbers were historic and it is doubtful that this kind of turnout will happen in the future.
