BTW, the phrase "separation of church and state" does not appear anywhere in the Constitution. It is found in Thomas Jefferson's response letter to the Danbury Baptist Association, when they complained that Connecticut's view of religious freedoms were seen as privileges granted by the Legislature, rather than Godly rights. Jefferson wrote that the 1st Amendment erected a "wall of separation" between the church and the state. The phrase is commonly thought to mean that the government should not establish, support, or otherwise involve itself in any religion. Jefferson was very religious, and thought that religion was an extremely private matter, hence his reasoning of the wall of separation, commonly known today as "separation of Church and State." Jefferson didn't even want Washington's day of thanksgiving to be recognized on the Federal level, so he discontinued it. Many people, today, follow Jefferson's thoughts on the language in the 1st Amendment, so I can see your point of not wanting voting to take place in religious places of worship. I can tell you this, I bet many people who go to the Court House to cast their vote against Hillary, are praying that she doesn't win, so gov't and religion do share common places in time. ;-)
