Election Day Coverage

For the election, we were sent to find interesting polling places to photograph. After viewing the website for voting in Centre County, I decided to pay a visit to Mike's Video and Electronics on North Atherton Street, as well as Remodeler's Workshop, a kitchen and bath remodeling store in Boalsburg.
