How many towns in america?

Question

how many towns are there in america. I would like to know how many voting stations there are and since its in every town(i think), how many towns are there?

Answer 1

There is not a voting station in every town, some areas are by county or district. I couldn't find any info on the number of towns, but:

There are 3,141 counties and county equivalents in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. They are categorized as follows:

3,007 entities named “County”
16 Boroughs in Alaska
11 Census Areas in Alaska (for areas not organized into Boroughs by the State)
64 Parishes in Louisiana
42 Independent Cities (1 in Maryland, 1 in Missouri, 1 in Nevada, and the remainder in Virginia)
1 District - the Federal District or District of Columbia.

This does not include Commonwealths and territories with what are generally county equivalents, which are as follows:

Puerto Rico - 78 Municipios
U.S. Virgin Islands - 2 Districts
Guam - 19 Election Districts
Northern Mariana Islands - 17 Districts
American Samoa - 5 Districts

Answer 2

In Dallas, Texas, there are over a dozen voting places for early voting (where anyone can go anywhere) and way over 400 for voting on the day of election. The elections office tries to set up the voting places so 200-300 people maximum will be voting in a day and there are half a million voters in Dallas.
To further complicate the matter, voting is done by precincts and in precincts with lower population or lower voting, two or three precincts may vote in the same place located near the corner of all of them. (Precincts are kept intact for state and federal reps and county and city offices, so all the people in a precinct vote for the same people.)
