Sounds familiar unfortunately. Years ago a friend of mine was running for state house representative. I helped in his campaign. He was well known and had a shot at displacing the long time incumbent. On voting day I went to vote and was met by a tiny sign on the door that the polling had been moved from the convenient location near town to the high school several miles out of town. No notice was given. No doubt this hurt turn out. How many people did not want to make the drive or maybe didn't know where the high school was? I believe it was a political dirty trick. It was my friends power base, his own town. We expected to lose the home town of the incumbent. But we lost both. Did moving the polls with no notice play a part?
