  The fair housing act doesn’t stop age discrimination, it protects “familial status” meaning they can’t discriminate based on a family having children, or being in a gay or lesbian relationship. It does have three exceptions to the law and they all center around senior communities.

  1. Every occupant is 62 or older. (Why 62 I have no idea.)
  2. Every household has 1 person who is 55 or older.
  3. The community is part of a state or federal housing program that assists elderly people.

  Oh, we’re not that organized. The only thing that they really do is require some form of government ID. They don’t really care what they just need to identify you.

  They don’t check if you’re allowed to vote, or if you’ve already voted before you vote, as those machines aren’t connected to the internet, so there’s no database to check against. It is checked after the fact when they start counting as the counting machines are connected to the internet.

  We had an issue about a decade ago where they were able to hack voting machines on election day, ever since then voting machines aren’t allowed to be connected to the internet.

  Where I am there’s simply too many people to have a single location, so there are 4 different locations you can vote at in the district.
