Where I am, it's no problem to go to the poll. In June, my county had all the polls open and fully staffed.

The biggest issue will be in the big and biggest urban areas, Pgh and Phila. Pgh could open PPG Arena (Lower Hill District), the Peterson Events Center (Oakland, UPitt), Palumbo Center (Duquesne U) and perhaps the gyms at Point Park U and Chatham U as consolidated polling places. I think the largest absentee ballots will be from Phila though. Then again, they also have a lot of large facilities like the Wells Fargo Center, Liacourus Center (Temple), Palestra (Penn), LaSalle, Drexel, Phila U (Textile) - all accessible via SEPTA bus or El. Lurie has already offered Lincoln Financial Field as a consolidated poll although I don't know where the polls would be as the field is open air, maybe in the concourses.
