Middleton, WI - Jewish Man Upset He Had To Vote At Church

Middleton, WI - a Jewish man whose polling place was at a Catholic church said he was disturbed to see a crucifix hanging over a ballot box.

Dr. Zeev Bar-Av a 65-year-old Middleton man said, "If there is a place where church and state should be separated, the polling place should be it."
Wisconsin Elections Board executive director Kevin Kennedy said the state and municipalities struggle to come up with adequate polling places, and churches have plenty of parking. He adds that polling places don't have to be redecorated to protect voters from feeling uncomfortable, and voters who are bothered can always vote absentee.
