Is this legal? The neighborhood recreation center has four different precincts voting there.

Polling places are selected because of availability and convenience to the voter, though if rent is paid, there may be preferential treatment for the landlord. I doubt, in the case of the center, rent is being paid. Its not unusual for two or more precincts to vote at one location, especially if all do not have proper places to conduct elections. In dense urban areas, where precincts are fairly small in size, it may be difficult to have four separate locations. The question to ask is not whether its legal, it most likely is, but if proper safeguards are in place to ensure that voters vote in the right precinct and do not vote more than once. If space is adquete and allocated in the right manner, safeguards are in place, and the election runs smoothly, there is no reason to be concerned or object.

The election officials must know this (unless they are living on another planet) so it must be okay. Don't worry about it, just do your duty and vote.

If they get overcrowded, I would definitely check into it!!!! A lot of problems were brought to light last election and may very well be.
