Help Us Tell West Virginia's 'ElectionLand' Story at the Polls

Love democracy as much as we do?

If so, you can help us tell West Virginia’s election story by telling us about your voting experience on November 8 (or before, if you are voting early).

We’ve teamed up with ProPublica’s ElectionLand, a digital news project that is tracking the election process across the state and the country. We’ll be monitoring voter access in real time, confirming reports of voting irregularities and getting a better idea of what’s happening as ballots are being cast across West Virginia.
