Chestnut Street at the Community Center has been closed for several years. So maybe 6.6 on the agenda is to close Chestnut Street "in front of the Community Center permanently" is a way of accommodating law.
But if it's "closing road in front of Community Center" at 9th Avenue, Democrats have a problem.
The Coatesville Community Center is also Coatesville’s Fifth
Ward polling place.
Coatesville’s Fifth Ward is overwhelmingly
Democratic.
I look at things concerning polling places with suspicion,
for good reason:
Early on the General Election Day of 2004 several Republican attorneys from Spring City showed up outside of Coatesville's Fifth Ward (precinct 120). When the polls opened they went inside and I saw elderly black women coming out of the polls saying, "They won't let me vote."
When the Democratic attorney was inside the polling place everything was peaceful. When the Democratic attorney took a break, again people were walking out saying they won't let me vote.
The effect of all that Republican muscle in Coatesville's Fifth Ward was stopping long time voters from voting.
I can't understand why they brought in lawyers from Spring City and why CCRC Chairman Skippy Brion was screaming at a Democratic poll watcher inside the polling place in front of voters but I don't have the mind of a Republican.
But I do think that if the Republicans persisted in stopping long time voters from voting there would have been violent incidents at the Fifth Ward.
