I worked at the polling place yesterday

21. The stories I read or heard

about the way poll workers are pressured, are what finally got me to move on volunteering. I want to do what I can to push back against the enemies of this country. Supporting candidates, maintaining thoughtfulness if I post anywhere, voting and now this are things I can do to defend what we have. As long as I am healthy, I can do those things

All of the points you wrote make sense, now that I've done the work. We were lucky that everyone who voted were well-mannered. We had only 1 provisional vote, because of an expired license. In training, making sure people got to vote was job one. I didn't know that poll workers got paid. I know it's not much, but I'll save it for lunch money

Thanks for being a longtime volunteer.
