Noted: Barry Burden is a professor at UW-Madison; he said voting in a small town is more of a communal experience. “Some of these small communities have potlucks where people bring a dish and people spend time at the poll,” he said. “They don’t just come and cast the ballot and leave, they might spend a couple hours there, talking with neighbors, cast the ballot, have some food, hang around for a while and socialize.”
