“New Docs Show Florida Official Didn’t Hesitate To Yank Poll Site From Mosque”

TPM:

The documents show that around June 25, voters in precinct 4170 received cards informing them that their polling site had been changed to the Islamic center due to redistricting. Some then contacted Bucher to express their dismay.

“This is truly not a neutral place,” read one email from a local resident. “As a history major, to have people not of islamic faith in the building makes those people enemies, at the very least to the fanatics [sic].”…

“We are going to put together a team of protesters and Reporters on this if you can’t secure a better location that is not such a controversial place for such disturbing times over Islam and IsIs … I [sic] asking you as republican and a Christian to find a non-discriminate location,” the voter wrote.

Bucher forwarded that particular email to her staff a few hours later with a note asking them to look into an alternate site.

“Looks like this is becoming a bigger problem than I thought,” she wrote. “Can we see if there is anywhere else we can move to.”
