Who moved my poll? Many voters have surprise in store

David Bergeron has lived on South Wayne Avenue since the late 1990s, and in that time, he’s always voted at St. John’s Catholic School on Fairfield Avenue, just a couple of blocks from his home.

But this year he got a card in the mail, notifying him his polling place had changed. In Tuesday’s primary, he will vote at the Urban League offices on South Hanna Street, nearly three miles from his home, in a different precinct and nowhere near his own neighborhood.

Bergeron was somewhat stunned. It made no sense. Why close a longtime polling place and send voters to a different part of town?

“It’s crazy. I think it’s nuts,” Bergeron said.
