Impact analysis
It's unclear if this will cost taxpayers extra, but it's definitely causing a headache for election officials.
Honestly, nobody benefits from this mess, but voters who rely on that location could be most affected.
Voters who planned to use that church as their early voting spot could be seriously inconvenienced or even disenfranchised.
