Fingers Crossed: Will the New Voting System Work Well?

The new voting centers will be open from February 29 through March 3.

One preliminary reaction I have is that Brentwood’s two primary voting centers – Village Lutheran Church on Church Lane and Luxe Sunset Hotel – are really not in mainstream Brentwood.  

Both locations are to the far eastern edge of Brentwood – and fairly close to one another.  I’m not sure why anyone would pick two locations so close to one another. 

Moreover, in order to get to the Lutheran Church on Church Lane, or to the Luxe Sunset at the corner of Sunset and Church, most of us will need to drive right through “Ground Zero” when it comes to traffic. Both locations are really close to the intersection of Sunset and the 405.

The Barrington Recreation Center and Brentwood Presbyterian Church – where we used to vote – seem much more in the middle of things. 

To be fair, the Village Lutheran Church location will be great for those living in Brentwood Glen.  This little corner of Brentwood seems a bit “forgotten” by the rest of Brentwood, because it’s a bit cut off from the rest of Brentwood.  So maybe they deserve a break this time.

I’ve been inside the Luxe and that cute little church many times.  I’m sure the hospitality will be terrific. 

I just think it would more convenient for most of us if we went back to Barrington Recreation Center and Brentwood Presbyterian Church.

Note: the mechanics of voting will change.  If you haven’t yet voted, and need help, go to LAVote.net.  There are some videos there showing how the new equipment will work.

You should also know, if you work outside of Brentwood – say Downtown or Century City – you can vote there, instead.  There will be voting centers all across the city.  

Go to LAVote.net and type in an address.  The site will then give you the addresses of the nearby voting centers.

Fingers crossed that this works well.  Let me know your experience: jeff.hall@brentwoodnewsLA.com.
