     I can't recall ever seeing security (private or public) at a polling   
   place.  Maybe they were undercover, I don't know. No uniforms anyway.   
     The polls open in WV at 0630 and close at 1830 or 1900.  Being an early   
   riser I am generally always number one or two to vote.  (A woman and I   
   sometimes alternate).  :)

     I try and use humour to deescalate any problems.     
     I also so reasoning, depending on the situation.   
     I try to explain why the individual can or cannot do something or other   
   they want to do and I stand my ground.  Some times a good stare down stops   
   them.  :)
