Pennsylvania: polling places secret

   The Associated Press has reported that State officials in Pennsylvania have decided not to publicize their list of polling places in the next election, citing concerns that terrorists could disrupt them.

   Reportedly, the state was influenced by the terrorist bombings that struck just days before Spain’s national elections in 2004.

   Californians have braved terrible tragedies such as the on-going wildfires, earthquakes North and South, and we’ve also been the target of terrorism.  Yet we go on.  Judging from the resolve of our citizens in facing these challenges, I just don’t think we’d ever have secret polling places in our state.
