In our particular county (Monongalia, on the WV/PA border), there are 5 locations set up for voters -- the majority of which are situated along established public transit routes. This is important, because due to a lot of polling-place changes over the last couple of years, many of the new locations are inaccessible without either a private vehicle, an expensive taxi ride, or other arrangements.

WV is destined to go for tRump, unfortunately, and the USHoR seats will stay in Republican hands most likely as well; however, with any luck, the state legislature can be retaken by the Democrats, and the Governor's mansion will be occupied by a Dem as well.
