In W.Pa., Black voters cast ballots in municipal buildings that house police depts.
From the sharp-eyed Chris Potter at WESA-FM in Pittsburgh:
Here's an issue to consider: Voters in a handful of heavily African-American communities are voting at polls inside municipal buildings that ALSO house police. Activist @ErinEKramer says that's a form of violence "after what’s been happening in the country" in the past few days

And:
"I’m not saying this is intentional, and people are heroes about going out to vote," Kramer says. By the time the protests took place this weekend, it would be too late to move polls anyway. "But the results are damning. We have a lot of work to do between now and November."
