Voting Centers

The Travis County Clerk Dana DeBeauvior thinks that there needs to be voting centers to help increase the turnout of voters to all elections that are held.  As most people know many voters only vote when it is a major election like the Presidential Election for example, but there are even people who don’t vote then.  Many Americans claim that voting takes too much time because it can be confusing on where to vote or they are just too busy.  DeBeauvior claims that if voting centers are put in place more people will vote more often, but I happen to disagree.  Voting isn’t that hard to do and it doesn’t take that much time at all.  I don’t understand how people can claim that it is confusing as far as where you can vote when there are always signs outside a place of business that says vote here.  Some places people are even standing outside holding bigger ones and waving them around.  With early voting it seems that there is plenty of time to get it done and not wait till that last minute when lines can get longer.  If voting centers are put in place we will just have to look at more little annoying signs saying vote for so and so and all that other nonsense that comes with elections.  So with that being said I don’t think that adding voting centers will increase turn out.
