Here, southwest Texas, I don't know of a polling place that's in a
school. Churches, fire stations, city hall, county courthouse but no
schools.

 I have a vague recollection of my father voting at a church (in 1956?).
As for me in the past 50 years, I have voted at two different schools
and a building that I think was a senior center (each many times). I
can't remember what the first two polling locations were.

Before The Koof, we voted in the nursing home down by the freeway.  Now we vote in a church.
