[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Silver Spring is (a) unincorporated and (b) geographically ginormous. And that's before we get into any demographic analyses. [b]Heck, one of the SS voting centers is at Leisure World - not exactly a hotbed of school parent agitators! [/b]

A proper comparison would balance - just to get started - population density (per sq mile, not just people in jurisdictions), job flexibility, and auto ownership. Well, unless your goal is to make it hard for certain types of people to vote. Maybe make it illegal to give a bottle of water to someone waiting in line on a hot day.[/quote]

This is a great point, as is the PP who points out that "Silver Spring" as defined by the election board is different than "Silver Spring" as defined by the population statistics that a PP posted.

When the election board says there are 3 early voting stations in Silver Spring, they are counting everything up to Olney. When the population breakdown was posted that was counting only the part from the DC line to Blair HS.

SO.....if we want to do an apples to apples comparision, we would see that there is actually only ONE early voting station assigned to the 70K people who are identified as being in Silver Spring according to the population count.

And there is only the Lawton Rec Center for all of Chevy Chase, Friendship Heights, and Bethesda up to Travilah, which is a larger geographic area and higher population, which is probably about 100k people. [/quote]
